How does fire effects water temperature?    Hypothesis​:​ The smaller amount of water will heat up faster the the larger amount of water.   

Materials: 1) 2 Pots 2) Water  3) Measuring cup 4) Thermometer  5) Stove  6) Stopwatch

​

​

Safety procedures: 

Follow Instructions.    Be need and organized.   Adult supervision required.   Protect your eyes and skin.   Careful with hot items.  Clean up afterwards. 

 

  Sample A:    Step 1. Measure 5 cups of water using measuring cup  Step 2. Pour 5 cups of water into large pot.  Step 3. Place pot with water on heating element on stove.  Step 4. Check and record the temperature at 30 sec. mark  Step 5. Check and record the temperature at 1 min. mark  Step 6. Check and record the temperature at 1 min. 30 sec. Mark  Step 7. Check and record the temperature at 2 min. Mark  Step 8. Check and record the temperature at 2 min 30s. Mark   Step 9. Check and record the temperature at 3 min. Mark  Step 10. Check and record the temperature at 3 min 30 sec. Mark

Step 13. Check and record the temperature at 5 min. mark 

  Sample B:​ ​ Step 1. Measure 2 cups of water using measuring cup.  Step 2. Pour 2 cups of water into smaller pot. 

Step 3. Place pot with water on heating element on stove.  Step 4. Check and record the temperature at 30 sec. mark   

Step 5. Check and record the temperature at 1 min. mark  Step 6. Check and record the temperature at 1 min. 30 sec. Mark  Step 7. Check and record the temperature at 2 min. Mark  Step 8. Check and record the temperature at 2 min 30s. Mark   Step 9. Check and record the temperature at 3 min. Mark  Step 10. Check and record the temperature at 3 min 30 sec. Mark  Step 11. Check and record the temperature at 4 min . mark 

​ Step 12.          

​

Check and record the temperature at 4 min 30 sec. mark   

Step 13. Check and record the temperature at 5 min. Mark

      Conclusion. The two samples started at the same temperature but the smaller pot heated up  faster than the bigger pot. Because it had less water.
