An investigation was earned out to find the e ec
loss of heat to the environment.

. . t ture can be represented by

The volume of the body of an animal and its empera
hot water.

Step 1 Two 250 cm 3 beakers were labelled A and B.

Step 2 A line was drawn on beaker A, 6 cm up from the bottom of the beaker.
A line was drawn on beaker B, 3 cm up from the bottom of the beaker.

Step 3 Hot water was added to both'beakers up to these marks.

Step 4 A thermometer was placed in the water in each beaker and a timer
started.
The temperature of the water was measured immediately in both
beakers and recorded in a results table.
The thermometers were left in the water throughout the investigatiOJl.

Step 5 The temperature of the water in both beakers was measured and
recorded every minute for five minutes.

Fig. 1.1 on page 3 shows the results of this investigation

(a) Prepare a table in the space provided to record these results. Use Fig. 1.1 to
complete this table.

(e) Humans sweat when they get too hot.

The effect of the temperature of the room on the average rate of sweating
was investigated.
