Question

write an experiment to show the process of convention of heat​

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat affects the density of water as well. You can create your own convection current with water that will allow you to see the currents caused by the density difference of water at different temperatures.

Supplies:

ice cube tray

water

food coloring

clear drinking glass or jar

Procedure:

Mix water and food coloring and pour the colored water into an ice cube tray. This experiment works best if the water is a very dark color. Convection Current Experiment - The Homeschool Scientist

Put the ice cube tray in the freezer until frozen solid.

Fill a clear glass with warm water.

Add one ice cube to the glass of water.

Observe what happens.

What’s Happening?

The warm water will melt the ice cube, but the resulting water will be very cold. This cold, dense water will sink to the bottom of the glass. You can see this happening because the melted water from the ice cube will be whatever color you made your ice cube.

As the water warms, it will rise back to the top of the glass. The colored water will allow you to see the convection current in the glass.

Try this simple experiment at home!
