Science fair recount

Aim: My aim last year was to find out which way was the best to make your can of soda as cold as possible in ten minutes.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis was that the freezer would be the best way to cool your soda.

Introduction: I know that this topic will be interesting because it takes a while to make something go cold.

Equipment & Method: 5-10 cans of soda, cold water, ice and a thermometer.

Step 1:Grab all your cans of soda and set them on a table.

Step 2:First put one of your cans into the freezer (or put it in whatever different way you are doing it)and leave it there for ten minutes.

Step 3:Grab your can out of the freezer and open it.

Step 4: Grab your thermometer at put it in the soda and leave it

there for a minute then record how cold it was.      

Results: My hypothesis was wrong and the freezer wasn't the best.

Conclusion:My result was a surprise and it just show you that the common way isn't always the best.

Dear owner,

On Thursday afternoon we had gone through the Burger King drive way in Fraser Cove. We had ordered two chicken burgers. My Step dad ordered the whopper junior meal with small fries and l&p as the drink and when he ordered he had a very clear voice.

When we ordered the employe kept asking us our order  over and over again we were getting really annoyed at this problem until he finally got it right. So we drove down the drive through until we go to the window to pay and pick up our order.


 When we had paid for our meal and it got given to us we got the wrong drink and instead of L&P we got coke We said excuse me we ordered l&p not coke. So the employe got us another drink but now it was raspberry so we told him again that we wanted l&p and on the third time he finally got it right and when we started to drive away he said thank you for Coming to KFC.

 Saying this I would like you to have your staff listen and improve their skills when taking someones order at Burger King.

Sincerely,

Derek Cerda - Jimenez

are quiet again.
