Laboratory information

The Water Heating and Cooling Curves of Water laboratory allows students to heat or cool a mass of water with different intensities, and measure the temperature continuously. It is thus possible to create a plot with the resulting temperature-time curves, and thus obtain conclusions regarding the transfer of energy and matter state changes.

What students do

Operate real equipment and reason from the measurements.
