This lesson deals with heat transfer. A lab consisting of a 250ml beaker filled with 200ml of water, a hot plate, and a thermometer was set up. The initial temperature of the water recorded, the beaker of water placed on the hot plate with the heat turned on, and the temperature measured each minute and recorded. The temp. at which the water boiled was noted, and the water heated for another 5 minutes, with the temperature noted and recorded each minute. A graph of the time v temperature was completed. A second beaker of water was filled to about 200ml and a rock was placed in the original boiling water for a few minutes to come to temperature. The initial temp. of the water recorded and then the rock placed in the water, and the temp. recorded each minute for 5 minutes. The Kinetic energy of the molecules was discussed at both the original temperature and the increasing temperatures. It was determined that an increase in KE produced an increase in temperature. A discussion of thermal energy and energy transfer will be done on Wed.based on the lab findings.
