Exploring Thermal Phenomena II

Review key words and powerful ideas discussed on Tuesday.

Hand out digital thermometers, and let each group explore for a few minutes. After a few minutes of exploration provide hot/cold water and measuring cups for each group.

Ask each group do all but only report on one by mixing hot and cold water in the following ways:

a: Equal amounts at same temperature
b: Equal amounts at unequal temperatures
c: Unequal amounts at same temperature
d: Unequal amounts at unequal temperatures (more hot than cold and more cold than hot)

Each group should prepare a report on a white board with their question, predictions, observations, graphs, and reasoning for findings.
