Ice Investigation Lab

Ice/Water/Steam Investigation Lab

 
Objective:  To observe the temperature and heat of H₂0 as it changes state.  You will create your own procedure. You have at your disposal materials that you may choose to use. During the investigation, you will write the steps in your procedure and collect data.  At the end of the investigation, you are to provide a graph of your results and explain what you observed through the data of your graph.

Materials you can use: Hot plate, thermometer, balance, cups, beaker, stirrer, graduated cylinder, stopwatch on your phone.

In your composition book:

1. Provide a detailed list of your steps in your procedure.

2. Collect data and make sure it is legible and it is clear what you are collecting and units are used.

3. Create a graph of your data that you collected. (paste in composition book)

4. Write an explanation of what your data showed during your investigation as it relates to the ice, temperature and heat.  (Hint: Think about including words such as melting, boiling, heat, temperature, constant.)

5. According to your data and graph, what is the freezing temperature of water? The boiling temperature?

6. Look at the graph. During boiling does the temperature change? How long does it boil?
