long time at the end of the experiment? ‚ Did you keep track of time it has been sitting in the container? ‚ Did the viscosity of the slurry create mixing problems? ‚ What happened when you added potatoes to a pre-measured volume of water? ‚ What problems arose? These questions allowed discussions of the criteria necessary for good experimentalprocedures, the problems that may occur in experimental setups, and necessary data to provideadequate and sufficient information for experimental analysis. In addition, there was anopportunity for emphasizing the ethical aspect in reporting. One of the teams had forgotten toinclude a magnetic stirring rod and thus their solution was not well mixed
