Challenge Question #9

Dear Journey North,
I know it is true that heat rises. My evidence is relativley
simple. I swim in Sheep's Pond in Brewster, MA in the summer. If you are
swimming near the surface, and then dive down, you run into a wall of cold
water about four feet down. The farther down you get, the colder it is.
That is my every day evidence.
Extra Credit Experiment: One way to show that warm water rises is this.
MATERIALS: 1 clear container
2 cups of water (One cold, one hot)
2 different bottles of food coloring
EXPERIMENT: You put a different color of food coloring in each cup. Then
you pour both the warm and cold water into the dish thing very quickly. If
you watch closely, you should see the color of the warm water near the top.
