PERFORMANCE TASK 1
Objective: Make a simple model that shows heat can do work.
Materials: candle, match, cardboard, scissors, pointed stick, bond paper, glue

Precautionary measures: Be careful when using fire and scissors.

Ask for adult supervision if necessary.

Procedure:
1. Cut a piece of cardboard to a circular shape.
2. Cut a circular piece of the bond paper and cut a spiral out of it as shown
on Fig 2.
3. Glue the stick to the cardboard so that it stands upright on the cardboard.
4. With the stick pointing upwards, make a crease on the top of the spiral
cutout and let the crease rest on the pointed end of the stick. Let the
spiral fall. Refer to Fig 3.
5. Put a candle below the spiral, resting in the cardboard. Light the candle
using the match. Make sure that the candlelight does not reach the bond
paper.

Guide Questions:
1. What happens to the spiral when you light the candle?
-The spiral burns, the fire starts from the lower part up to the rim of the spiral that I created.

2. What causes the spiral to behave that way?

- The spiral behave that way because hot air rises, heat flows from hotter object
to the cooler objects when two objects are in contact. The candle flame produces
heat, as this hot air rises, it makes the spiral heated and heats travel though the
part of the spiral which has lower temperature.
