10 Questions
Why did Martin use a container made of wood in the experiment?
To prevent heat loss to the surroundings
Why was it necessary for the experiment to be conducted over a short period of time?
To reduce errors caused by external factors affecting the air temperature
What is the relationship between the temperature of the air and distance Y based on Martin's results?
Temperature decreases as distance Y increases
How does using a container made of metal instead of wood alter the experiment's outcome?
The heat transfer rate would increase
What impact would using a larger container have on Martin's experiment?
The air temperature would change more gradually
How would conducting the experiment in a cold room affect the results?
The air temperature would decrease more rapidly
What is the purpose of measuring the temperature at various distances from the water's surface?
To determine how quickly heat dissipates in the air
If Martin repeated the experiment with water at 70°C, what effect would this have on his results?
The air temperature would increase at all distances Y
How would covering the container with a lid impact Martin's experiment?
It would reduce heat loss and maintain air temperature better
If Martin expanded his experiment to include different water temperatures, what prediction could be made about higher water temperatures?
Higher water temperatures would lead to higher air temperatures at all distances Y
This quiz focuses on the importance of understanding scientific concepts, making connections between them, and applying them in various situations. It also emphasizes the revision of concepts learnt from primary 3 to primary 5 in preparation for the PSLE.
