Science Coursework Factors affecting the rate of cooling Aim: To investigate and acknowledge factors of heat loss efficiency, radiation. Introduction: The experiment will take place with three conical flasks with the same amount of water in each flask. The three flasks will be different colours, which are black, silver and a clear glass. The experiment will be carried out twice, in one case the factors affecting the rate of cooling will be experimented in the lab and in the other case the factors affecting the rate of cooling will be experimented on the data logging, produced as a graph. Scientific Knowledge: Loss of heat travels in three different ways. These are conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is when something is heated and the heat energy causes molecules at the heated end to vibrate violently and the vibrating molecules cause nearby molecules to vibrate as well. In this way heat travels slowly through...
