Hypothesis 
I think that the cooking oil and sand will not dissolve because of the heavy, thick texture. 
 
Purpose 
I will use cooking oil , salt, sand, tea mix, coffee grains, and honey.First, I will fill a beaker with hot water from the tap.Put a teaspoon of one of the chemicals into the hot water.Stir it slowly with a spoon, and observe.If the substance is soluble,  it will disappear and leave the water clear. *Note I will  do a separate experiment for each chemical used.I found that the sand and cooking oil did not dissolve because of the texture.Although all the others did. 
 
Materials   
  • One beaker 
  • Hot water from the tap 
  • One teaspoon 
  • Cooking oil 
  • Salt 
  • Sand 
  • Tea mix 
  • Coffee grains
  • Honey

  •  
Procedure   
    1.I will fill a beaker with hot water from the tap.
    2.Add a teaspoon of  the chemical to the beaker.
    3.Stir the substance slowly with a spoon
    4.observe what happens.
    *Note repeat  the process with all the chemicals.Refilling clean water with each one.
     
Results   
After the experiment there were two chemicals that did not dissolve, the sand and cooking oil .The salt, sand, tea mix,  coffee grains, and honey all dissolved.
Conclusion 
My experiment proved my hypothesis was  correct.The cooking oil and sand did not dissolve.
