YOU HAVE TWO CUPS OF WATER. ONE IS HOT WATER AND ONE IS COLD WATER.

1) Mini investigation question: What will happen when you mix equal amounts of hot and cold water?

My prediction: My prediction is that the same volume of hot and cold water are being mixed. This will happen because of heat transfer from hot to cold water molecules.

2) You will be creating a model of one of the energy transfers or transformations. Create a conceptual model.

Data: Temperature of hot water = ___107____ C

Temperature of cold water = __0____ C

Predicted final temperature when they are mixed = ___53-55____ C

Actual final temperature = __50____ C

Time it took to reach a stable temperature: __It took around 1minute and 13 seconds._

3) Is there a difference between your prediction and what you observed? What might be an explanation for this?
