    IGCSE-Planning The Experiment

    Uploaded by

    Lawrence Onthuga
    This document outlines an experiment to investigate the cooling rate of water insulated with different materials. It provides the procedure which includes preparing hot water, measuring the initial temperature, recording temperatures every 30 seconds, and repeating with different insulators. It also includes questions about controlling variables, comparing cooling rates of hot and cold water, and justifying if the cooling is faster or slower in the first 30 seconds compared to the last 30 seconds based on the readings. The purpose is to collect temperature data over time with different insulators and draw conclusions about cooling rates from the graph.

    Planning/Designing an Experiment

    KEY SKILLS IN PAPER 6


    1. Measuring skills- Reading scales such as rules, protractor, thermometer, voltmeter, ammeter,

    2. Simple Calculations

    3. Correct significant figures- Give your final answer to the least number of significant figures.

    4. Graphing skills(i) Label Axes(ii)Suitable scale (iii) Plotting(iv) Line/Curve of best.

    5. Organising data in a data table


    Column headings

    Same decimal places down each column,

    Correct significant figures on each row

    6. Calculating gradient/slope

    7. State sources of errors/limitation in an experiment.

    8. Suggesting improvement

    9. Stating conclusions/ Justification of results

    10. Planning/Designing an Experiment

    11. Apparatus, Method/procedures, Variables (dependent, independent, control), data table,


    Rate of cooling of insulation
    i) Wrap the insulator around the container t/s Temp/0C
    uniformly. Insulator insulator Insulator
    ii) Clamp the container to the clamp. 1 2 3

    iii) Pour 200 cm3 of the hot water supplied into the 0
    container. 30
    iv) Place the thermometer in the beaker of water. 60
    Wait for the thermometer thread to rise to the
    90
    maximum reading.
    v) Measure and record the initial temperature 0 of 120
    the water. 150
    (vi) Start the stop clock and record the 180
    temperature 1 of after intervals of 30s. 210
    (vii) Record your data in the table below.
    240
    (viii). Repeat the experiment with insulator 1 and 2
    with same equipment, amount insulation and
    initial temperature.
    Plot a graph of Temperature against time.
    Analysis of the cooling curve
    1. If this experiments were to be repeated, it would
    be important to control some conditions. Suggest
    3 such conditions that should be controlled.

    2. From your results; does hot water cool faster or


    slower than cold water?
    3. State whether the rate of cooling of the water is
    significantly faster or slower or about the same in the
    first 30s than the last 30s. Justify your answer by
    reference to the readings.

    The data shows results obtained by as student
    investigating the cooling of water.
    a. Complete the column t/s /
    headings in the table. 0 82
    b. Plot a graph of 30 74
    temperature(y-axis) against 60 66
    time(x-axis). 90 63
    c. What conclusion will you
    120 57
    150 55
    draw from this experiment.
    180 52
    Give evidence from the
    graph.
