1. Examining the two cubes in your kit:
Table 1
Dice
Dimensions Surface Area
(cubes) (Length, width, # of sides x
and height) length x width
I
Volume
Length x width
x height
Ratio
(surface area/
volume)
Example:
Cube = 3 mm
length = 3 mm
width = 3 mm
height = 3 mm
6 sides x3 x3 =
54 mm
3x3 x3 =
27 mm
54/27 (Divide
the surface area
by the volume.
The ratio is that
number over 1.)
2/1 ratio
Small dice

Abeaker of water was heated and then placed on a bench in the laboratory. the water cooled until it was the same temperature as the air in the laboratory. which of these explains the mechanism by which the water cooled? a. heat energy was transferred from the water to the air. b. water molecules from the water formed warm water currents. c. the water molecules absorbed energy from the molecules in the air. d. the water released radiation until it contained no heat energy.
