how do I write a hypothisis for an electric hotdog cooker.?

Let me restate what I think you are asking in this experiment:\n\nHow does the electricity heat the hot dog using this device?\n\nTo formulate a hypothesis based on the question you need to examine your knowledge of ways that that something can be heated using electricity. \n\nHere are my ideas: (maybe you can add to this) \nI will give you some unlikely ideas as well as likely. This is good science, to consider the unlikely idea too. \n1. the electricity is flowing through the hot dog and heating it\n2. the electricity is making a magnetic field and that is heating the hot dog\n3. the electricity is heating the wire inside the hot dog and this is heating the hot dog\n\nEach of these can become a hypothesis. After thinking about these, you may realize that if (1) is true, you would get an electric shock if you touched the hot dog. If (2) is true then you could measure a magnetic field with a compass, and anyway does a magnetic field make heat? If (3) is true then the wire inside the hot dog will get hot without the hot dog being on it, and you have a new hypothesis:\n\nThere is a property of the wire that makes it get hot when electricity flows through it. \n\nYou know from looking here: http://www.answers.com/topic/electrical-resistance-1\nThat  \nwhere\nP is the power measured in watts\nI is the current measured in amperes\nR is the resistance measured in ohms\n\nSo, P is the heat in your hot dog. I is the current in the wire coming from the wall outlet. So the test here would be, if you can measure the resistance with an ohm-meter of the device, that if you put the resistance and the current value (measured with an ammeter) into this formula, you will get a value for P that can be measured roughly by the temperature change in the hot dog. You probably don’t have the instruments to make these measurements, but this would be a way you could test your hypothesis. \n\nHope this helps. I'm sure you will want to simplify this some more. \n \nP.S. a watt is actually a RATE of converting electricity to heat, so it has units of  work/time, but I'm trying to keep this simple- so I just called it heat

Hi, the publication that I work for gets kitchen science articles every month, and we put them online sometimes. This month we have a do-it-yourself-volcano. I'm sure there's others in the archives under "odds n ends."

Come up with a general thesis, like "Evil exists because of humans" or something like that. Then find your sources. Write a long paragraph based on the information from each source that pertains to that thesis. Then, put the paragraphs from each source in some sort of order, based on how they flow the best. Then, in between each paragraph, fill in with more paragraphs that combine ideas with one another, so that they flow. If you used, say, 6 sources, you should have about 6 pages by now. Then, read through and fill in points and embellish the ideas that are already there. Voila... 12 pages. Make sure you take snack and rest breaks every 2 hours or so. Good luck!

use a potato and two different metals as electrodes. The link will help you, do your own homework, or web searching atleast! it was the second link in google for g** sake!

my bacon is prewrapped, as far as the hot dog dilemma what happens is when you have your barbecue and finish your dogs you generally load em up rite off the grill to the bun, then the inevitable happens a dropped dog!!! you can rinse off the dog not the bun ,hence you toss the effected bun and use your reserve bun and voila soups on.Now all this is made possible due to the large quantities of liquor associated with these outdoor events.I hope i have made your road to knowledge a little smoother,lets do it again soon.

Buy a cook book, by Rosemary Connolly, British. from http://amazon .co.uk\nShe teaches basic cooking and it's ideal for you.IE, boild eggs, beans on toast, bangers and mash, Easy cooking.\nCheck it out!

This is a bit complicated but you might try this....\n\nStart with a centralized heat source, preferably electrical, so it should remain fairly constant.  You will need three thermometers, each to be held in place by their own stands.  Place a block or bar of metal so that it does not quite touch the heat source, and in contact with its thermometer at the far end.  Place a wooden bowl with water (a metal or glass container would taint your study ) near the heat source with its thermometer just in the water.  Place your last thermometer the same distance from the heat source, thus testing the heat conductivity of air.  If you had access to more thermometers and stands, you could place them at various points in a line from the heat source.  You will notice that the last thermometer will by far have the lowest readings.
