The coldest drinking fountain |

The students used the scientific method to determine the coldest drinking fountain. The steps used in the method were: Ask a Question: Which drinking fountain at Huth Road is the coldest? Background Research: Students discussed their opinions based on prior experience using the various drinking fountains. Students also received a review lesson on reading a thermometer. Hypothesis: The students were given the opportunity to form their own hypotheses and wrote on their lab notes. Test the Hypothesis: The students used thermometers to test which drinking fountain was the coldest by turning on the fountain, filling a cup and immediately using a thermometer to test the water. Then they read their thermometers and recorded their answers in degrees Fahrenheit. These findings were recorded on a data chart. Analyze Data: The students visually compared the data to determine the coldest temperature. Each groups’ temperature readings were slightly different. Temperatures ranged from a high of 70° F for the drinking fountain in cafeteria 2 to a low of 44° F for the drinking fountain in cafeteria 1. Report Results: The drinking fountain in cafeteria 1 was universally found to be the coldest drinking fountain. A discussion regarding why the temperatures varied took place and led the students to some new hypotheses which they hope to test; such as leaving all thermometers in the water while the temperatures are read and letting the water run for the same amount of time at each drinking fountain. The fourth graders sure seemed excited about Science. |
