Temperature Retention Experiment Concepts

In this combined lesson covering lessons 12, 13, and 14, students will conduct multiple class experiments to understand temperature changes. They will use their Geo Journals to record data and analyze the effects of different variables, such as lids and materials, on temperature retention. The lesson includes a new experiment focusing on radiation's impact on temperature, using a lamp to observe changes. Students will compare results with previous experiments to draw final conclusions.

What is the main objective of the combined lesson?

• To learn about different types of thermos
