Review of Literature:

During the experiment, it was a lot of research and work. One of the best websites wikipedia.com

This website help find a lot of information about the topic, like, a very good description of what colored construction paper is. It allowed the experimenting to be more easier and to guess what would really happen to the construction paper during the experiment. (Construction Paper. //Wikipedia //.)

It was amazing to find so much information in the textbook. The textbook has an entire section on dissolving solids. The book discussed the importance of solids, liquids, and gases. Solids, liquids, and gases are all properties of matter. Dissolving each one of these properties happens differently. These differences are especially noticeable between solids and liquids. Liquids dissolve into a gas, solids dissolve into a liquid or a gas. So during the experiment, the caption in the book really helped. I understood the information because the topic is all about how things, including paper, dissolve. (Richard, Moyer)

This website helped the science topic research a lot. It showed comparing and contrasting two different types of paper: construction paper and notebook paper. Both of these types of paper are used in the experiment. This website was very useful because it gave a lot of data on how each piece of paper has similarities and differences. The website is: (What Is Cardboard Made Of? //Ask.com //.)

Another website that helped the research is: wikianswers.com

This website gave information that gave more facts on how paper dissolves and the feel of the paper. Also it explained what the weight of the paper, how it felt, and what it is made of. This website also explained more details on notebook paper, which was very helpful. This website said that all paper has different feels, and different ingredients of what they are made of, like different grasses and pulp. So that would help the evidence be more clear. (What Is Cardboard Made Of?) //WikiAnswers // .

What I learned- During my research i learned new things about paper that would really help me experiment. In the textbook this is what i learned in the textbook- During searching through the textbook, i found a lot of information on my science fair topic. Like how solids, liquids, and gases matter. Maybe when i do my experiment i should think of the paper as a solid and put in the liquid and see how it dissolves (or boils if you are doing an experiment with particles like in the textbook.) Maybe i will have a physical change during the experiment, because if my hypothesis goes as planned the dissolving may cause the paper to change size and even shape and not form a new substance. I learned that the word dissolve means (with reference of a solid) become or cause to become incorporated into a liquid so as to form a solution. If all the papers dissolve in hot water, then i will prove my hypothesis and learn that solids and liquids can change into a physical change. I want to become a scientist during my experiment, i want to observe, ask questions, organize my data, and compare my results. Since this is my first science fair i am excited and i want to make it count.

All of the websites really helped too. They really stated many paragraphs that explained so much information that helped me learn more about the paper and how the many properties of science compare with my experiment with paper.
