Questions:
- How did the temperatures of the water in the red Solo cup and the water in the bucket compare at the beginning?
- What happened to the temperature of the cold water over time?
- What happened to the temperature of the warm water over time?
- How did your graph show what happened?
- After 15 minutes, what did you notice about the lines on your graph?
- What happened to make the temperature of the cold water get warmer?
- What happened to make the temperature of the warm water get colder?
- Use your line graph to predict what the temperature of the warm and cold water would be after 20 minutes. Record your predictions below. Why did you choose these temperatures?
- Did the food coloring in the warm water help you understand how heat energy is transferred? How?
•In the start both were separate in the first place they were never combined until later.
•Both of them combined ( we could tell that that was happening when the cold water had red food-coloring in it).
•It somehow got out of the cup and started soaking into the cold/clear water ( making it pink ).
•Because it went up and down until it got to the end ( which took a long time very slowly ).
•The line on the bottom went higher and higher and the one on the top went down ( coming towards each other ).
•How the cold water got warmer is they combined from the warm water leaking into the cold water.
•Because the cold water leaked into the warm water.
•My closest prediction would be somewhere 52.5 for each ( just an estimation ).
•Yes. they would help me understand how heat energy is transferred. Because it could help me know when the cold water leak into the hot water that's how that food coloring helped me.
