Experiment 2
Convection: How does heat move through liquids?
Purpose/Hypothesis
In this experiment, you will put tinted hot water into cold water and tinted cold water into hot water. In both cases, you will observe and record the movement of the water to determine how heat moves through liquids. Your experiment should cause convection currents to develop as heat moves through the water. Before you begin, make an educated guess about the outcome of this experiment based on your knowledge of heat. This educated guess, or prediction, is your hypothesis. A hypothesis should explain these things:
- the topic of the experiment
- the variable you will change
- the variable you will measure
- what you expect to happen
