NWhat happens when you melt a

marshmallow?

HYPOTHESIS I think it will partially melt because

we know when you

roast a marshmallow over the fire it begins to melt.

PROCEDURE1 Open the bag of marshmellows.2 Take out four napkins.3 Then take 4 marshmellow.4 Then you put the marshmellow in the micwave.5 First you put the masrshmellow in 10 sec and take a picture .6 Second, you put the mellow in for 20 sec and take a picher.7 Then you put the mellow for 30 sec and take a pic. 8 Lastly, put the mellow for 40 sec and take a pic. 9 Then we took notes.10 We observed what happens after you heat all the marshmallows.

CONCLUSIONAfter testing our theory,

the longer the marshmellows were in the microwave receiving heat, the bigger they got.

The heat caused the air pockets and sugar to

expand and burn the longer they were heated.
