Mars Thermos- Experiment and Record
You are going to conduct an experiment to demonstrate the movement of atoms and molecules
through temperature measurements and engineer a design that can slow down that movement.

6- Thermal energy transfer (definition) *
7- Before you begin setting up the experiment, predict how the temperature will change in each cup? Using the vocabulary from above, write a hypothesis for what you think will happen in the experiment. *
8- Record the temperature of the room: _________°F. *
9- Decide how much water you should use in your cup. Our group has decided to use ______mL of water because *
10-  Decide how often you will record the temperature for each cup of water. *
11- Using a graduated cylinder, measure ice water (with no ice) and pour it into one small cup. Repeat for hot water (from the tap or from your teacher).
12- Perform the control experiment (no insulation). Record your data in the “Control” column in the table below.
13- Collect necessary materials and create a Mars Thermos for each cup and perform the experiment, noting the data in the data table below. Your goal is to limit the temperature change of the water to no more than 5°F in 10 minutes. Note the materials you are using for each cup here: *
14- Improve your design by trying another combination of materials and repeat the experiment. Record your results using the table for Trial 2. Note changes here: *
15-  If time allows, repeat the experiment a third time with a different amount of water. Does the amount of water affect the temperature loss?  
16- What can you conclude from your experiment? *
17- Do you think the temperatures in the cup will reach equilibrium with the air in the room? Explain. *
18- In what situations on Earth are insulation and limiting thermal transfer important? *
19- Would the water temperature change more slowly or more rapidly on Mars? *
