Look at your Data Table 1: How many trials is the scientist doing for each metal?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

The hot metals transfer energy to the cold water. Look at the data for the 3 trials. How much did the water change temperature for each trial?

Match the correct data with each metal used in the trial.

Groups:

(a) Aluminum

,

(b) Copper

,

(c) Iron

• trial 2: 5 degrees

• trial 3: 8 degrees

• trial 1: 14 degrees

• trial 1: 6 degrees

• trial 2: 15 degrees

• trial 2: 9 degrees

• trial 3: 6 degrees

• trial 1: 7 degrees

• trial 3: 13 degrees

Answer explanation

Great job looking carefully at the data for each metal!
