I am in the process of helping a 4th grader with her science project. The experiment is to track a raw egg to a hard boiled egg. I am looking for assistance in creating a graph that shows the celsius degrees from 0 to its boiling degree of 100. Where can I go on the internet to find a graph that deplicts these mesurements. Thank you.

You need to be a bit clearer about what specifically you are looking for. What should the graph show - temperature of the water versus time? If so - it will depend very much on how much heat your stove produces, so there is no single chart for this. You could do the experiment yourself. Set a pot with 1 quart of water at room temperature on the stove, take an initial reading with a thermometer, then turn on the stove and take water temperature every 10 seconds until the water starts to boil. Then you can plot temp versus time. You could repeat, this time starting with only 1/2 quart of water and see how the results differ. Then you could draw a conclusion whether it's more efficient to use a little water or a lot of water when boiling an egg.

Needless to say - if you're doing this with a 4th grader take care to avoid accidents or burns!

Thank you. I am looking for temperature versus time. I just need to know how to draw a graph that deplicts this. Should I put the time scale on the bottom and the temperature going up the scale or vise versa? As you can see I am a dummie when it comes to science projects :)

You won't find the graph on the internet - your stove is different from others, your pots will be too. Draw the graph with Water Temperature on the Y (vertical) axis and with Heating Time on the X (horizontal) axis.
Good Luck, we will be happy to give further assistance.
