I. PROBLEM

In this laboratory experiment the students are task to

perform the instructed experiment that is given by the
instructor in which it deals with thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics deals with heat and heat transfer which will
be observe and further elaboration happen all throughout the
experiment . They are task to observe what will happen
during the experiment and they also need to identify the
resulting values in respect to the values that is given by
the instructor.

a. 4 empty cans with lid or cover

b. Digital thermometer/pocket thermometer
c. Ice cubes
d. Water
e. Clock or Timer
f. Plastic wrapper
g. 2 Containers

III. SIMULATION (and/or ACTIVITY PROCEDURES)

Part 1:

1. Fill 2 cans with water and close the lid or cover it

tightly.

2. Place 2 cans in a container and fill up with tap water

just before the top of the cans. Leave it for 30 mins. This
is done to equilibrate the room temperature to the water and
cans.
3. After 30 mins,
a. measure the temperature of the tap water using a
thermometer, record the data. This will be your
"surrounding" temperature #0.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#0.

4. Remove half of the tap water from the container, add some
ice cubes until the mixture reaches the previous level.

5. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the tap water ice mixture,

record the data. This will be your "surrounding"
temperature #1.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#1.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

6. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the tap water ice mixture,

record the data. This will be your "surrounding"
temperature #2.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#2.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

7. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the tap water ice mixture,

record the data. This will be your "surrounding"
temperature #3.

8. After 5 minutes:
 a. measure the temperature of the tap water ice mixture,
record the data. This will be your "surrounding"

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#4.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

9. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the tap water ice mixture,

record the data. This will be your "surrounding"
temperature #5.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#5.

Part 2:

1. Fill 2 cans with water and close the lid or cover it

tightly.

2. Place 2 cans in a separate container and fill up with tap

water just before the top of the cans. Leave it for 30 mins.
This is done to equilibrate the room temperature to the
water and cans.

3. After 30 mins,

a. measure the temperature of the tap water using a

thermometer, record the data. This will be your
"surrounding" temperature #0.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#0.

4. Remove all of the tap water from the container, add some
ice cubes until it reaches the previous level.

5. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the ice, record the data.

This will be your "surrounding" temperature #1.
 b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,
record the data. This will be your "system"
temperature#1.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

6. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the ice, record the data.

This will be your "surrounding" temperature #2.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#2.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

7. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the ice, record the data.

This will be your "surrounding" temperature #3.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#3.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

8. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the ice, record the data.

This will be your "surrounding" temperature #4.

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#4.
Close the lids and leave it for another 5 minutes.

9. After 5 minutes:

a. measure the temperature of the ice, record the data.

This will be your "surrounding" temperature #5.\

b. measure the temperature of the water inside the cans,

record the data. This will be your "system" temperature
#5.

DOCUMENTATION

V. OBSERVATION

a. What are your observations on the experiment?

- Upon doing the experiment the learner observe on how

thermodynamics takes place in the experiment with the
present of surrounding and system that is represented by the
material above. Elucidating from the table above heat
transfer takes place from higher temperature to lower
 temperature that is the reason of the decrease of
temperature inside the can.
b. Which of the experiment cools the water in the cans
fastest? Why?

- The fastest to cool is experiment 1, thus the water that

is present acts as a great factor hence the chemical
composition of water makes it more effective at sucking heat
out of surroundings.

c. If you extend the time of observation, will it reach the

point of equilibrium at a cold state?

- It will not reach to the point of equilibrium at a cold

state; however it might reach to the point of equilibrium at
the room temperature state.

d. What are your conclusions on the experiment?

Upon doing the experiment the learners were able to

understand more thermodynamics and its law. The learners
were also able to prove thermodynamics and heat transfer as
they were able to observe it upon doing the experiment.
