Science

Today in science class, we have been learning about conduction and convection. Period 5 we did an experiment using lighters, matches. scissors and teabags. 

Aim : To observe convection in real life.

Convection is when an object is being heated and then because it is hot it travels away from the source. 

1 : First we had to cut the top part of the teabag 

2: Then tip out the inside of the teabag

3: Then make sure the bag is standing up on the heat mat

4: Grab a lighter or matches ( Make sure to be careful when you are using them)

5: Carefully light the top of it with a lighter or matches

6 : Then after lighting it , make sure your not blowing your match out near the teabag 

7 :Then watch it increase in size and float up in the air
