-This should be based around heat v temperature, how heat travels (conduction/convection)]]> 2017-12-03 13:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/moya_ryan234/x32wu26k80ob/wish/212595342 Top Tips for an efficient lab: moya_ryan234 https://padlet.com/moya_ryan234/x32wu26k80ob/wish/212595602 -Keep experiment equipment in big plastic boxes which have contents clearly labelled
-Have a whiteboard in the storeroom to keep track of supplies
-Use large flipchart pages for group work
-Don't use mercury thermometers if possible
-In the event of a mercury spillage, cover with sand or anti-bumping granules]]> 2017-12-03 13:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/moya_ryan234/x32wu26k80ob/wish/212595602 Our results: moya_ryan234 https://padlet.com/moya_ryan234/x32wu26k80ob/wish/212595841 -For this task, we used a beaker to hold the water
-This was then surrounded by cotton wool, and a thick layer of tinfoil tightly packed around the beaker
-we created a lid which was a layer of cardboard surrounded by tinfoil
-the water was a temperature of 76 degrees celcius at the beginning
-The end temperature was 69 degrees celcius
-Our change was therefore 7 degrees celcius
-this made our insulator the most successful of the class]]> 2017-12-03 13:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moya_ryan234/x32wu26k80ob/wish/212595841
