Original Prompt

please create a scientific investigation for convection. the investigation must have the steps of what to do. students will need one beaker of warm water, one beaker of ice cold water, food coloring and a dropper. students must write down their observations. the investigation should not take longer than 10 minutes. include a learning objective. make sure the document is black and white including any pictures

This learning resource focuses on the investigation of convection, specifically how heat energy transfers through liquids by convection currents. Students are guided through a hands-on experiment using two beakers of water at different temperatures, one warm and one ice-cold. With materials such as food coloring and a dropper, they will observe the movement of the food coloring in each beaker, noting the differences caused by temperature-related density changes. The resource includes a materials list, safety precautions, a step-by-step investigation procedure, an observation table for recording findings, analysis questions to encourage deeper understanding, and a conclusion section for summarizing the experiment's results.
