Convection Currents are Amazing! by Krystal

Yesterday, we did an awesome science eperiment on convection currents.  Ms. Fennell poured hot (red) and cold (green)water into two little jars, wrapped them in foil, tied them with rubber bands, poked two holes in them, and put them in a tank that had room temperature (clear) water in it.  After the jars were set in the tank, the hot water started to rise because it was less dense and the cold water stayed at the bottom because it was more dense than the room temperature water. 

While we were reading our science book, I looked back and saw that the hot water started to sink and the cold water started to rise due to convection currents.  Today when we entered the classroom we saw the same tank that looked all bright red and green looking like a very brown green dirty fish tank that hasn’t been cleaned for about a month.  The water in the tank now has the same temperature and density, so the whole tank has the same color, which is dirty brown green.  

This experiment demonstrated the convection currents that occur in our atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.

Truly I think that convection currents are amazing!

  1. Dear Kyle,

    Thank you for saying you like not just this writing but all of my writing. I really appreciate it, and yes I did say that I LOVE writing. My brother sometimes calls me a writing freak and I agree with him.

  2. Dear Krystal,

  3. Please do not give me all of the credit for Ms. Fennell corrected my paper, added things on for me, got the idea for pictures too. So please do not comment only me also comment Ms. Fennell also known as the best teacher ever!!! 🙂

    that you like my writing… 😛

  5. Dear Krystal,

    You wrote a really good paragraph about the science experiment! You did an awesome job and I thought that the science experiment was cool too! 🙂

  6. Dear Krystal,

    Your writing was so good . 😀

    Dont worry about miss spelling something because you did very good so you should be happy . 😀

    You Friend,
    Christine

  7. Dear Krystal,
    Great job on the science experiment paragraph! I thought the experiment was really fun and interesting! What a great science experiment: I learned a lot and had lots of fun! I hope we are doing more cool experiments like this!
