<strong>Convection</strong>, <strong>Conduction</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Radiation</strong> <strong>Activity</strong> <strong>PDF</strong><br />

Copy these notes (only the writing in black), in your own h<strong>and</strong>writing, into your<br />

notebook…While you are copying these notes into your notebook try to make sense of the words<br />

<strong>and</strong> connect them to stuff you already know from class!<br />

NOTE: The writing in green (or with stars next to them, if you are not viewing this in color)<br />

are discussion, read it but don’t put it in your notes. Make sure you read it!!!<br />

ANOTHER NOTE: I realize <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> that it will take some time to read through this <strong>PDF</strong>. If<br />

your goal is to truly make up the time you missed in class this is the most effective way to catch up.<br />

This lesson was taught on a “block” day or “C” day meaning you either missed an 88 minute or 44<br />

minute classroom experience. It makes sense that it might take 88 minutes or 44 minutes (or more) of<br />

reading through this material <strong>and</strong> attempting to make it make sense to catch up. I have put forth my best<br />

effort as a teacher to put together this <strong>PDF</strong> to assist you in catching up <strong>and</strong> to support your<br />

extracurricular activities that warranted an absence (family event, sporting event, school activity,<br />

sickness). Good luck to you.<br />

<strong>Conduction</strong>, convection, radiation <strong>Activity</strong><br />

Question: What is the relationship between surface area <strong>and</strong> the amount of<br />

energy absorbed by an 80g sample of water during a 3 minute 30<br />

second period using the heat transfer methods conduction,<br />

convection <strong>and</strong> radiation?<br />

The class worked as a team… two groups heated 80g of water via<br />

conduction, convection <strong>and</strong> radiation at the same time using one hot plate<br />

in a small surface area beaker (diameter of 4.5cm)…<br />

<strong>Convection</strong> –<br />

<strong>Conduction</strong> –<br />

hot plate<br />

<strong>Radiation</strong> –<br />

Two other groups will do the same with a medium surface area<br />

beaker(diameter of 7cm)…<br />

This activity splits up a multi-tiered experiment…each individual<br />

experiment has the following IV <strong>and</strong> DV…<br />

IV: surface area (indicated by the diameter of the beaker)<br />

DV: amount of heat absorbed (indicated by temp change)<br />

Hot plates were turned on to low for 3.5 minutes…<br />

Small sized beakers<br />

(4.5cm diameter)<br />

heating 80g of water<br />

using all 3 heat<br />

transfer methods of<br />

conduction,<br />

convection, <strong>and</strong><br />

radiation.<br />

Medium sized beakers<br />

(7cm diameter)<br />

heating 80g of water<br />

using all 3 heat<br />

transfer methods of<br />

conduction,<br />

convection, <strong>and</strong><br />

radiation.<br />

Large sized beakers<br />

(9cm diameter)<br />

heating 80g of water<br />

using all 3 heat<br />

transfer methods of<br />

conduction,<br />

convection, <strong>and</strong><br />

radiation.


This is the data collected from all the experiments going on in all the different lab<br />

groups. Please copy this information into your notebook…<br />

Graph data:<br />

‣ How many experiments were really going on here?<br />

o 3 different experiments…<br />

• one with <strong>Conduction</strong><br />

IV: surface area<br />

DV: energy absorbed<br />

• one with <strong>Convection</strong><br />

IV: surface area<br />

DV: energy absorbed<br />

• one with <strong>Radiation</strong><br />

IV: surface area<br />

DV: energy absorbed


‣ Can we put the data on the same graph? Yes we can! <br />

o Same IV same DV 3 different lines (one line for conduction,<br />

convection <strong>and</strong> radiation)<br />

o X axis IV Surface area (cm)<br />

o Y axis DV Change in temperature (represented ΔTemp)<br />

Please get your graph set up by labeling the X axis <strong>and</strong> Y axis <strong>and</strong> getting<br />

the numbers labeled… we will graph the data as a class in the next class<br />

period.<br />

Congratulations you have done some work in order to make up the<br />

time you missed in class! Keep up the hard work!<br />

I look forward to seeing you in class!!! <br />

Please come in during AST ASAP <strong>and</strong> ask any clarifying questions you<br />

may have <br />

Note: I realize that the “Academic” in the academic support sign above is spelled incorrectly. This “Acadurmic Support” sign<br />

is on this fusion <strong>PDF</strong> to remind you to come to AST, <strong>and</strong> what better way than with a “catchy” sign? I in no way support the<br />

misspelling of words, but I do support the thoughtful student sentiment expressed when the students responsible for this<br />

sign gave it to me. Thanks Tayton, Ross, <strong>and</strong> Iggy!
