1. Get 2 transparent glasses (same size)
2. Put the same volume of water in both of them. In one of the glasses put cold water
and in the other glass put hot water.
3. Place the 2 glasses side by side and let the water sit for a few seconds.
4. Put a drop of food dye in each of the glasses.
Use your cell phone to take a picture of this hands-on activity. You will need to
submit this picture and your photo ID to DB 2.
Answer the following questions:
Why does 1 drop of the dye stain the entire volume of water?
Does the staining of the entire volume of water happen faster/slower/or at
the same speed in the hot water compared to the cold water? Why?
