HEATING MATERIALS LAB REPORT

Problem- Do all materials heat up hotter then others?

Hypothesis- I think that some objects heat up hotter then others.

Experiment- We are going to put corn syrup in one cup and water in another cup. Then were going to put them in the microwave at the same time.

Steps- Fill one cup with corn syrup then another cup with the exact same amount of water then take the temp. after heating up for one minute.

Results- baseline temp.water- 26 degrees. corn syrup- 26 degrees Heated up temp- water- 90 corn syrup- 95 degrees

Conclusion- The corn syrup got hotter then the water. My hypothesis was right. Not all things heat up the same. We also think that maybe the microwave might have a side that heats up hotter then the other side of the microwave.

Possible errors- We forgot to put them in at the same time. We didn't measure the exact amount of each. We looked at them and figured that it was the same and that could have effected how much it heated up. Then because we forgot to put it in at the same time the microwave was already hot by the time we but the corn syrup in the microwave.
