    This document provides instructions for a convection lab where students will observe convection in water. The lab involves placing a jar of cold water on top of a jar of hot water, and vice versa, to see how convection currents cause heat transfer between the jars. It asks students whether warm water is more dense or cold water is more dense, reminding them that water's density changes slightly with temperature before they conclude the lab.

    CONVECTION LAB

    Quick review....
    What is convection?

    The transfer of heat through


    liquids or gases.
    In today's lab you will observe
    convection in water.
    What would happen if I took a jar of
    cold water, and put it on top of a jar of
    hot water? Would I get the same result
    if I put the hot water on top?

    Would you say that warm water is more
    dense, or cold water is more dense?
    Remember when
    we learned the
    density of water is
    1 g/ml? Well,
    technically it
    changes a little
    depending on the
    temperature of
    the water.
