Cool It Lab

Freddie is drinking a cold glass of Kool-Aid in the sun on a hot day. He puts the glass down in the sun and the glass begins to warm.

What is happening to the small particles that make up Kool Aid? They. . .

• contract

• slow down

• move faster

• disappear

Sophia filled a small cup with water and then placed it in the freezer. Over the next few minutes, the liquid water began to turn to ice. As this was happening, the water molecules in the cup . . .

• gained energy

• gained mass

• lost energy

How do the type of matter, the mass of matter, and the temperature change of matter affect the amount of heat energy transferred by a sample of matter within a closed system?

• The type of matter does not affect the heat energy transferred.

• The mass of matter affects the heat energy transferred.

• The temperature change of matter does not affect the heat energy transferred.

• All of the above factors affect the heat energy transferred.

Make a claim, using quantitative data as evidence, about the relationship between the type of metal and the amount of energy transferred. (Remember that, in this investigation, the change in temperature of the water is directly related to the amount of energy transferred). All three metals must be included in your claim.

• The type of metal does not affect the amount of energy transferred.

• Different metals transfer different amounts of energy, as evidenced by varying temperature changes in water.

• All metals transfer the same amount of energy, resulting in identical temperature changes in water.

• The amount of energy transferred is inversely proportional to the type of metal used.

What is the purpose of the investigation involving changing the mass of heated metal washers placed in room temperature water?

• To determine if the mass of the washers affects the amount of energy transferred.

• To measure the boiling point of water using metal washers.

• To find the specific heat capacity of the metal washers.

• To observe the cooling rate of metal washers in water.
