In an experiment, Kyle wants to test how stirring affect the rate at which sugar dissolves into water. He fills 3 glass beakers with water. Before each test he will pour sugar into each beaker. In beaker 1, he will not stir the substances. In beaker 2, he will stir the substances slowly. In beaker 3, he will serve the substances quickly. As he stirs, he will use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to sugar to dissolve into the water.
