The variable is the temperature of the liquids. Other possible variable that could be investigated is the PH. Fair test I will make it a fair test, as I will: * Not change the amounts of Amylase and Starch * Use 3 drops of iodine every time * Do each experiment 3 times and then find the average * Not change the amount of time Equipment Water bath Beaker Test tube Bunsen burner Heat proof mat Splints Tripod Gauze Spotting tiles Glass rod Timer For each experiment I will use: - 2cm³ of amylase 10cm³ of starch 3 drops of iodine in every part of the spotting tile I am going to try 10 different temperatures, they are * 26°C * 28°C * 30°C * 32°C * 34°C * 36°C * 38°C * 40°C * 44°C * 48°C Safe Test It will be a safe test as: * Goggles will be worn so none of the liquids...
