Hello my wonderful students!!! Listen closely...are you listening??? This is your science teacher Ms. Yates. I know, I know. I just saw you a few hours ago. Remember the awesome reminders, updates, and fantasticness that I promised you?? It is here. Yep!! Right here. Remember to check it out daily. The rewards will be worth your time. Assignments that you forgot about or were absent for? Here!! Notes you may have missed?? Here too!!! Announcements?? Yep!! And, fantastic reminders of all the cool stuff we did today...All here and more!! See you tomorrow. Or Monday, if you are so awesome that you are reading this over the weekend.

Heating Earth Materials

How did the temperature change differ between the soil and the water?

    When the cups were in the sun, the temperature of the soil and the water rose, but we couldn't find the exact temperature because there was a heavy wind. The soil was hotter than the water because it was compressing heat while the water could not trap the heat. When the cups were in the cold, our group couldn't find out the temperature for the water because the wind knocked it down.However, the water let out more heat than the soil.

  2. When we first did it in the sun, the temperature was really, really hot! The temperature for both soil and water ROSE very slowly though. There was also usually a big gust of wind, that would give the cups a chill. Then, the temperatures for the cups would go DOWN very slowly.

    These were the same conditions in the shade as well. While in the shade, they would start cooling steadily. Sometimes when we took observations, it would usually be the same temperature. Once again, it would go down very, very slowly. It didn't feel too chilly, but just cool in the shady area. When we felt the cups, they felt at temperature, pretty mild and not that cold as before. It was a little bit warm.

  3. The temperature change differed between the soil and the water because in the sunlight the soil became warmer in 6 minutes. The water in the sunlight became a little bit warmer, but just by a couple degrees. The temperature differed in the shade because the water actually cooled the fastest. Its lowest degrees was 23 degrees C. With the soil in the shade, it cooled down slowly, but it lowered only by a couple degrees. From this lab I learned that soil heats faster than water, but water cools faster than hot soil. I think the soil cooled slower because of it soaking in the the heat more instead of the water soaking in heat.

  4. The temperature change differed between the soil and the water because the water cooled down faster then the soil. The soil and the water also heated up at different times. The soil heated up much faster than the water because it was 27 degrees C.

  5. The temperature differed from the water to the soil because the water was hotter than the soil by 2 degrees.

    when the soil was in the sun went from 24 degrees to,25 degrees to,26, then then two 27's, to 28,29,then we went into the shade and it went down to 27 degrees. When the water was in the sun it went from 23-24-25-26-27and when we put it in the shade it went to 26-25-24. When the water was in the sunlight it increased in temperature. When we put the water into the shade it dropped in temperature. The same thing happened with the soil. The soil was able to trap and keep the heat because it is a solid, but the water being a liquid could not trap or hold any water.

  7. The temperature differed from the water and soil because the soil kept going down and got heated. The water was colder so it couldn't trap any heat.

  8. The temperatures in this lab varied because the soil trapped more heat so its temperature rose more. The soil was warmer than the water. Our water was knock over by the wind so it wasn't accurate in the shade but for the most of the time, the water was cooler and soil was hotter!

  9. The temperatures in this lab varied because the soil absorbed more heat and became a higher temperature ranging for 26-30. The water couldn't absorb heat and was 25-27 C. They soil was always was higher than the water proving that soil can absorb heat and get hot while the water gets cooler.

  10. The temperatures differed from the soil and the water because the water was slightly hotter and it was able to increase temperature faster. Sometimes the temperatures of both materials became the same.

  11. When the two cups were in the sun, the temperature rose very slowly. For the water, it rose by one degree every time we checked! The soil appeared to be hotter, probably because the soil cup compressed more heat than the water cup. However, when our cups were in the cold temperature, we couldn't find the exact temperature for the water cup, because the wind knocked down all the water! But, before the wind knocked down all the water, the water let out more heat than the soil did.

  12. In this lab the temperatures were varied because in the sun the soil had temperatures anywhere from 24*C- 29*C and the water mostly got to 26*C. But, in the shade the water went from 26*C- 23*C. This happened because the water had trapped less heat from the sun than the water had.

  13. The soil for our group was definetly more hotter than the water becuase it probaly trapped in more heat. Since my groups water tipped over by a notebook our results for water we not AS accurate as our soil, but our soil did tip over a few times. All in all I learned that soil can be hotter than water when put in the sunlight.

  14. The soil warmed up quicker and cooled sown quicker but the watch warmed up slower and it took longer for the water to cool down again john
