- A
clear glass filled with hot water
- A
clear glass filled with cold water
- Food
coloring
- An
eye dropper
Instructions:
- Fill
the glasses with the same amount of water, one cold and one hot.
- Put
one drop of food coloring into both glasses as quickly as possible.
- Watch
what happens to the food colouring.
What is happening?
If
you watch closely you will notice that the food coloring spreads faster
throughout the hot water than in the cold. The molecules in the hot water move
at a faster rate, spreading the food coloring faster than the cold water molecules which mover slower.
