To identify which reactions will be the most efficient, in order to heat pre-cooked meals.

3. This process involves a heating and cooling process known as thermal cycling and is done by a machine.

This experiment could be improved by measuring the temperatures of the hot dogs at specific times. If some groups measured the temperature immediately after receiving their hot dogs, then other groups measured theirs 5 minutes later, and the remaining groups measured theirs 10 minutes later, we would be able to see from our data how ambient temperature affect the cooling rate of a body, in this case, a hot dog. Doing this would improve the experiment because it gives the experiment a better structure compared to the chaos created by the different times of measurement and it helps us see ambient temperature’s
