PROJECT SUMMARY

I wanted to see what salt could do to dough to make it softer. I changed it and did one with oil.

WHY?

I wanted to see what salt could do to dough to make it softer. I changed it and did one with oil.

HOW?

First I made a normal bowl of dough with just water and flour. I put food coloring in it. It was very sticky so I put flour in it. The other one I did the same thing but added salt. The last one I added oil.

WHAT?

The one with oil was softer. The one with nothing in it was very hard. The one with salt was softer than the one with nothing in it, but more soft that the one with oil in it.

SO WHAT?

I learned that dough when it has oil and salt as well, is softer than the dough without anything.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I could probably have one side with oil, and have one side without oil, and stretch it to see how long they stretch.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

You chose a really fun project and you made some good observations. For future videos, you might want to try and have the camera higher up and pointing into the bowl so the viewers can see it mixing and getting stiffer. Hope you keep trying different materials and make more discoveries about the properties of dough!
