NYS Cool It! Lab Preview

Higher temperature means more kinetic energy in molecules.

Lower temperature means more kinetic energy in molecules.

Temperature and kinetic energy are not related.

Kinetic energy only increases when temperature is at freezing point.

The amount of thermal energy all bodies and objects contain and give away to the surrounding environment.

The temperature of an object.

The energy stored in chemical bonds.

The amount of light an object emits.

Water

Ethanol

Aluminum

Copper

To ensure the object and water start at different temperatures for heat transfer to occur

To sterilize the object before the experiment

To prevent the object from floating

By comparing the change in water temperature before and after the experiment

By measuring the mass of the metal only

By checking the color of the water

More heat energy was transferred

Less heat energy was transferred

The water lost energy

Lead transferred more heat because its temperature changed more.

Iron transferred more heat because it changed the water temperature by a greater amount.

Lead and iron transferred heat equally because their final temperatures were the same.

Lower starting temperature results in more heat energy transferred.

Higher starting temperature results in more heat energy transferred.

Starting temperature does not affect heat energy transferred.

Less mass results in more heat energy transferred.

More mass results in more heat energy transferred.

Mass does not affect heat energy transfer.

Heat energy transfer is only affected by temperature, not mass.

Amount of water given to the plant

Type of soil used in the pot

Size of the plant

Higher temperature means more kinetic energy.

Lower temperature means more kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy only increases with pressure, not temperature.
