Conclusion:
In the course of this experiment, I verified that lower temperature meant more crystallization, yet a higher chance that the water will solidify before becoming supercooled. This proved my hypothesis correct, by showing me that lower temperature is harder to control. One of the mistakes in the experiment was using the same water for all of the trials in order to control it. This meant that foreign substances infiltrated some of the water and forced it to freeze at 0°C instead of becoming supercooled first. If this experiment was redone, I would confirm that a new batch of water had been used for each trial. It was confirmed that low temperatures result in a higher amount of crystallization. I predicted that less water would supercool easier and crystallize more effectively when shaken, but I was mistaken. Fuller water bottles crystallized better than those with less water.
