- Why was the calorimeter insulated?
- Why do you think the the heating apparatus was coiled? (wound in circles).
- Why do you think the vessel we held the water in was made of aluminium (Al) and not some other material.
- If you had to pick another material to make the vessel out of what would it be? and why?
- Would you expect the value we measure for the SHC of water be exactly 4200 J / kg / K? Justify your answer.

Task:You will be required to research on the internet an official professional Scientific Journal report. You will read all or parts of the report with the aim to noticing the style of writing and language used by research teams and scientists.
You will then type an article on your “Physics” section of your Weebly account firstly typing a short summary of the journal (what were the scientists discovering/testing) then secondly write a short reflection on the type of language used by the writer (is it different than novel writing? How do they communicate results? Is the text very clear/concise? Etc). |
