COOLER THAN COOL
ITS ALL ABOUT MINTS!
QUESTION
Does fresh mint cool things down in temperature or is it merely a
sensation?
PURPOSEThe purpose of this project is to determine if fresh mint can cool
other objects or not. It is important to know this because you can cool
down your mouth with fresh mint if you eat something hot.
HYPOTHESESWe hypothesize that fresh mint will cool objects down. We believe this because when you take a breath mint it makes your mouth cool.
PROCEDURE
MATERIALS30 fresh mint leavesSPARK thermometer
600 ml waterStop watch
VARIABLES Manipulated-mint leaves
Responding-water temperatureConstant-amount of water, size of cups,
method of measuring of water temperature
DIRECTIONS1. FILL TWO 88.7 ML CUPS OF 60 ML ROOM
TEMPERATURE WATER2. RECORD TEMPATURE WITH SPARK THERMOTER
3. ADD 6 MINT LEAVES TO THE CUP OF WATER4. WAIT TEN MINUTES
5. RECORD TEMPATURE WITH THE SPARK THERMOTER
6. REPEAT STEPS 1-5 FOR FOUR MORE STEPS
CONCLUSIONOur hypothesis was incorrect. Fresh mint does
not cool water down in temperature. It makes it warmer. Our water’s average temperature was 24.08 degrees Celsius. That's cooler than our water with fresh mint’s average temperature
which was 24.16 degrees Celsius. Our research led us to discover that mints give off menthol
and that maybe raised the water temperature.
