Science Experiment
To discover the transfer energy the students would be given two ice cubes and a cup of hot water.
To discover the transfer energy the students would be given two ice cubes and a cup of hot water.
- Then they would try sticking their tongue to the first ice cube without any changes being made. The surface of the ice cube is so cold that it freezes the water on the surface of your tongue thereby changing its temperature.
- Second they would dip the next ice cube in hot water before licking it. This would warm up the surface of the ice making the surface of the ice closer to the temperature of your tongue. This way the thermal energy would be closer to equal.
