Topic: Changing States of water/ water cycle

Part1

Show an understanding of how water changes from one state toanother.- Melting (solid to liquid)Investigate the effect of heat gain or loss on the state of water andcommunicate findings.

- when ice is heated, it melts and changes to water at 0 C- when water is heated, it boils and changes to steam at 100 C- when steam is cooled, it condenses to water

Procedure

1) You will be given a beaker with some ice and water. Using your

Data logger, measure the temperature of the ice and water in your

beaker.

Temperature of ice-water setup: ____________C

Materials: you will be given, two glass beakers of ice-water setups

and a table lamp.

A B

Aim: To prove that an increase in temperature of the surrounding

will have an effect on the rate of melting of ice.

Investigate the effect of heat gain or loss on the state of water and

communicate findings.Draw in the space below, how you would set up the experiment?

A B

Setup up B will have the lampshining on it while A doesnt.

What will you measure in your experimental setup?

Choose from one of the following.

(a)

Time (minutes)

Temperature(C)

(c) Based on your experiment, what can you conclude?

I can conclude that the heat from the lamp has an effect on thetemperature of the water in the set ups./ The heat from the lamp

caused the temperature in Setup B to rise faster.

(d) Predict what you will observe if a hair dryer is used instead of

the table lamp.

(e) Conduct the experiment using the hair dryer. What did you

observe. Explain why this happened.

The temperature of the water in B still rose faster compared to A.

The heat from the hair dryer caused the ice to melt faster, so the

temperature rose faster.

(f) Tick the variables that were kept constant in this experiment.

Size and shape of the cups

Material of the cups

Temperature of the water

Part 2-Teacher Demonstration

(a) What is the temperature of the water at the start of the

experiment?

Room temperature (approx 28 to 33 degrees celcius)

(b) What is the temperature of the water after it starts to boil?

Near 100 C.

(c) What is the temperature after it has boiled for 3 minutes?

Near 100 C.

(d) What is the colour of the water collected in the dish?

Clear

Aluminum tray

(e) Predict what you will observe in the dish when some ice cubes

were put in the tray.

There will be more water droplets formed on the tray.

(f) What did you notice about the amount of water collected in the

dish? Explain.

There were more water collected in the dish after the ice cubes

were added. The temperature difference between the rising hotwater vapours and the tray is now greater, resulting in more waterdroplets being collected.

Puzzle-Explore

What still puzzles me?

What would I like to explore further?

Concept learnt

PART 1: Heat gained by the ice causes ice to melt.

When ice is heated, it changes to liquidat 0C.

PART 2: When water is heated, it changes to

steam at 100C.

Steam condenseson a cooler surface and changes into

water droplets.

Week 4 Day 1

Making an Oral Presentation

When making an oral presentation in class, you must know your subject well andconvince your audience that they have something to gain from listening to you.Here are some things you can do to make an effective oral presentation.

Be prepared.Researchyour subject to ensure that you are knowledgeable.Practice your presentation until you feel comfortable. Make sure you can presentyour information within whatever time limits you will have. Anticipate questionsyou may be asked and prepare answers to these.

Know your audience.Tailor your presentation to your audience's level ofknowledge about the subject of your presentation, what they need to know, andtheir interests.

Be positive.Make it clear that you are knowledgeable and enthusiastic aboutyour subject.

Don't read your presentation.Talk to your audience. Use your notes asprompts as needed.

Provide examples.Try to make your presentation as concrete and "down toearth" as possible. Add appropriate anecdotes and humor to drive home a point.

Use visual aids.Supplement what you say with visual aids such as handouts,charts, transparencies, and slides. Make sure that everyone can easily see the

visual aids. Don't use visual aids that are so complex that the audience will spendits time trying to read them instead of listening to you. Visual aids aresupplements to what you say, not replacements for what you say.

Maintain eye contact.Shift your eye contact around the room so that everyonefeels that you are talking to them.

Actively involve your audience.People can only listen so long without theirattention wandering. Making your presentation interesting will help you to

capture and keep your audience's attention for a while, but you must do more.Build in some simple and quick activities for your audience so that they areactively involved in your presentation. Ask questions that you are confident youraudience will be able to answer.

Use your voice effectively.Vary the tone of your voice and be careful not totalk too quickly.

End on a high note.Leave your audience feeling upbeat about what they havejust heard.
