My hypothesis was correct, the crystals diffused more in the warm water than in the room temperature water and cool water. After following the procedure on the first page and measuring and recording the data the average millimeters that the crystals in the cold water (4° Celsius) diffused were 2.8 mm in the first 30 seconds and 4.4 mm the after the second 30 seconds. The results of the crystal diffusing in room temperature water (21° Celsius) were 3.4 mm for the first 30 seconds and 5.4 mm for the next 30 seconds. The results of the crystal diffusing in warm water (42° Celsius) were 4.8 mm for the first 30 seconds and then 8.4 mm for the next 30 seconds. The crystal in the warm water diffused 2 mm more in the first 30 seconds and 4 mm more in the second 30 seconds than the crystal in the cold water. The crystal in the room temperature water diffused .6 mm more in the first 30 seconds and 1 mm more in the second 30 seconds than the crystal in the cool water. The crystals in the warm water diffused 1.4 mm more in the first 30 seconds and 3 mm more in the second 30 seconds than the crystals in the room temperature water. Diffusion results from the movement of particles in liquids and gas. Particles in liquids and gas are in constant motion and are driven by energy which they absorb from the heat of their surroundings which is why diffusion happened faster in the warm water than in the cool water. Clearly the crystal diffused more in the warm water than in the cool and room temperature water.
