Appendix B. Experiments for cultivating corresponding core Physics concepts

Concept Experiment used Daily life

I. Heat capacity: water has a greater heat capacity than air

Matches were put to balloons blown up with air and balloons filled with water. Those with air exploded immediately, as expected, while those filled with water did not.

A metal pot becomes red-hot if we forget it and allow all the water to evaporate off. II. Heat = Energy =

Molecular Movement

Ink was dropped into a cup of cold water, a cup of warm water and a cup of hot water. Drops of ink in hot water dissipated immediately (a visual demonstration of the molecular motion of water) and the droplet in cold water remained compact for longer.

Brown sugar and water. Same as above but the demonstration visualises the dissolution of a solid as a function of increased motion of water molecules.

When we pour cold milk into cold coffee, it “stays together” longer than when we pour it into hot coffee.

Sugar dissolves slower in cold tea than it does in hot tea.
