Now that we see how data can be represented in graphical form from a data table, we're seeing how data that's in a table can help us figure out a problem Mrs. Brinza ran into with her own kids!
Mrs. Brinza and her kids love to bake together, but while Mrs. Brinza was making her favorite recipe, her mischievous kids (as you can tell by the photo to the left) mixed all the baking ingredients up! Since Mrs. Brinza had a limited supply of them, she just couldn't get more, and instead tried to figure out what all of them were! The crazy thing is though, is that all of the ingredients were white and really similar!

Brainstorming a bunch of tests we could do, students came up with the following tests:
1. Taste test
2. Feel test
3. Smell test
4. Look at them under a microscope
5. Mix them with water to see how they react (like dissolve or not)
With Mrs. Brinza's guidance (and some constraints due to hybrid/remote learning), we agreed to do the following tests!
1. Feel/texture test
2. Water test (because we know some of these substances dissolve in water)
3. Vinegar test (because we know some of these substances would "bubble" with vinegar)
4. Iodine test (because it was a medical chemical Mrs. Brinza had lying around).
5. Heat test (because some of these substances might melt with heat)!
Here are the results from all our tests! We now hope this data can help us figure out which substance/ingredient is which!
