8 A student investigates how the surface area of water affects how quickly it cools down.
He puts warm water into different shaped containers.
The photograph shows two of the containers.
I will use four different containers and work out the surface area of
water in each one.
I will heat some water and pour the same volume into each container.
I will put a thermometer into each container and measure the water
temperatures.
After 15 minutes I will measure the temperatures again.
