    Hotness and Coldness Activity

    Uploaded by

    Melanie Tagudin Trinidad
    This document describes an experiment to demonstrate heat transfer using three containers of water. Students will add hot, room temperature, and cold water to the containers and observe how their temperatures change over time. They will then answer questions about which feels hottest or coolest to touch, which container experiences the greatest heat transfer, and how heat transfer relates to changes in temperature. The goal is for students to understand that when an object absorbs or loses heat, its temperature increases or decreases accordingly.

    NAME: ____________________________________ GROUP #: _________________

    YEAR AND SECTION: _________________________ DATE: ____________________

    ACTIVITY: EXPLAINING HOTNESS OR COLDNESS


    Materials:

     3 Identical containers
     Thermometer
     Hot water
     Tap water (room temperature)
     Cold water

    Procedure:

    1. Half-fill the three containers with equal amount of cold water.


    2. Place your finger for a while into any of the containers.

    Try to recall your lesson on Heat Transfer in Grade 7 and answer the following questions:

    QUESTION #1: What actually transferred when you dipped your finger into the water? In what direction did it
    transfer? ______________________________________________________________________________.

    QUESTION #2: Was the water ‘hot’ or ‘cold’? Explain. __________________________________________


    _____________________________________________________________________________________.

    3. Measure with a thermometer the temperature of the water in each container. Record your
    measurements in Table 1 below. (Note: The initial temperature of the water in each container should be the
    same as they come from the same source.)

    Table 1: Data for Activity


    Estimated temperature of water: ___________ (°C)

    MEASURED TEMPERATURE
    CHANGE IN
    CONTAINER INITIAL FINAL
    TEMPERATURE
    TEMPERATURE TEMPERATURE
    A
    B
    C

    QUESTION #4: How close is your estimated value to the measured temperature of the water? __________.
    4. Add the same amount of hot water to container 1, tap water to container 2 and the same cold water
    to container 3. Leave the containers for a while.

    5. Dip your fingers again, this time into the three containers. Make sure that you do not dip the same
    finger into the containers.

    QUESTION #4: Which container feels ‘hottest’? Which container feels ‘coolest’? _____________________
    _____________________________________________________________________________________.

    QUESTION #5: What do you think causes the difference in the hotness or coldness of the water inside the
    containers? ___________________________________________________________________________.

    6. Measure and record the temperature of the water in all containers. Calculate the change in the
    temperature of water in each container.

    QUESTION #6: In which container(s) is heat transfer taking place? What evidence best supports your
    answer? Within this container, which absorbs heat? Which gives off heat? ___________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________________.

    QUESTION #7: In which container was there the greatest amount of heat transferred? What is the basis of
    your answer? __________________________________________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________________________________________.

    QUESTION #8: How are the amount of heat transferred and the change in temperature of water related?
    _____________________________________________________________________________________
    _____________________________________________________________________________________.

    KEY CONCEPT: You have just observed that if heat is absorbed or given off by
    an object, its temperature changes. If the object absorbs heat its temperature
    increases, if the object gives off heat, its temperature decreases.
