  2. Target group and stages • F.6/7 Chemistry students • All 3 Chemistry teachers and others • Stages: • Familiarization of data-loggers • May 2002 • Project proposals • Summer holidays • Presenting project proposals • Experimental work • End October – 1/11/2002 • Project presentation and write reports • Nov 2002 • Final presentation • 7/12/2002

  3. Stage I • Borrow equipment from ED • Perform some of the data-log experiments • Forms/experimental details : from the CDI’s website

  7. KF • http://cite-kf.cite.hku.hk/

  8. What did they write?(Coke) • How often do you drink cola ? • We can do a experiment to find out the carbon dioxide • content in different cola , like coca-cola , pepsi ..... • and therefore we can recommend a "healthier" one (or the one which have a bad taste ^^) to others . • The problem we have to solve is how to test dissolved carbon dioxide ? distillation ? or others? • Please discuss and share your idea ....^^
