Let me tell you about this little experiment I did today. I call it “triple cup”. Basically, I wanted to see what would happen if I filled three cups with different things and then let them sit for a while.
Getting Started
First, I gathered my materials. I grabbed three clear plastic cups – you know, the kind you might use for a picnic. I also needed some water, some sugar, and some salt. Pretty basic stuff, right?
The Experiment
- In the first cup, I just poured plain old water. Nothing fancy.
- In the second cup, I mixed in a good amount of sugar until it dissolved. It took a bit of stirring, but eventually, the water looked clear again.
- In the third cup, I added salt, just like with the sugar. I stirred and stirred, and most of it dissolved too.
Then came the waiting game. I placed the three cups on my kitchen counter where they wouldn’t be disturbed. I wanted to see if anything would change over time. I figured maybe some of the sugar or salt would settle at the bottom, or maybe something else unexpected would happen.
Observations
I checked on the cups every few hours. At first, nothing really happened. But after a while, I started to notice some differences. The plain water stayed the same, of course. The sugar water also remained pretty much unchanged.
But the salt water, that was a bit different. I saw some tiny little crystals forming at the bottom of the cup. It wasn’t a lot, but it was definitely there. It looked like the salt was slowly coming out of the water. I guess I didn’t see that coming!
Conclusion
So, that’s my “triple cup” experiment. It wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but it was a fun little way to kill some time. And who knows, maybe this is just the beginning. Maybe I’ll try it again with different things, like oil or juice. The possibilities are endless! I learned that salt can create small crystal in water, but sugar doesn’t.
