Thermal Energy Transfer Experiment

The video tutorial guides students through a lab experiment on thermal energy transfer. It begins with an introduction to the lab and the materials needed, followed by setting up the experiment with spoons and thermometers. Initial temperatures are recorded, and ice cubes are placed on the spoons to observe temperature changes over time. The video concludes with data analysis and a summary of the experiment's findings.

What is the main question being investigated in this lab?
