Water temperature


This task is about collecting and showing data on a graph.

a) •   
Your teacher will give you a thermometer and a container with hot water in it.
Let this sit for 1 minute to allow the temperature to stabilise.
  •    Now record the temperature of the water and write this temperature in the table below at 0 minutes.
  •    Keeping the thermometer in the water, record the temperature changes at 1-minute intervals over ten minutes.
