Data Collection (25 points) 

Following your detailed protocol, perform all the experiments. Record your observations and take pictures of your key steps in the process. Your observations and images need to be incorporated in your data section and this section should be as detailed as possible as you will use this information to complete your discussion. 

 

Part 1: Caramel 

 

Part 2: Black Snake 

 

Part 3: Invisible Ink
