I did an experiment with sugar and salt. First I got 4 cups out and put different water temperatures inside.  Then I added the salt into each one and recorded the time it took to dissolve. After that, I did the same for the sugar. I learnt the following things:

The temperature of the water affects the salt and sugar because if the water is hot the heat makes the solid dissolve faster than room temperature water. For example, the salt took 1 min & 10 secs to dissolve in the cold water but only took 23 secs to dissolve in hot water.

The size matters because if it the solid is smaller in size it takes less time to break down. For example, the salt took 23 secs in hot water to dissolve and the sugar took 50 secs in hot water to dissolve. This is because the sugar crystals are larger than the salt particles.

The amount of force can make the solid dissolve faster because when I stirred the salt 4 times it took lesser time to dissolve than the amount it took when I stirred it 6 times. For example, when you blend something the force of the sharp blade mixing it makes the solid break down way faster than just mixing it by hand. This is called physical change.
