ISA preparation

Today we're going to keep preparing for the ISA which we'll be doing next week. Answer the following in your books:

1. What is the independent variable?
2. If we were looking at rates of cooling in different coffee cups, what would be the independent?
3. What would our dependent variable be for the same experiment?
4. Name 5 control variables that we would need to keep:
5. Where should the independent and dependent variables go in a table? What about in a line graph?
6. For the graph below, what effect does the volume of water have on the rate of cooling?
7. For the graph, which container material had the slowest rate of heat loss?
8. State the independent and dependent variable in this experiment:
9. Watch this animation, stating the three ways that heat can be transferred:
10. What would be a good colour to paint a bottle to help it keep heat better?
11. What is another name for thermal radiation?
12. LIst two factors that can affect condensation or evaporation:
13. What happens to the kinetic energy in the ice blocks here when warm water is poured on them?
