Question

A scientist is interested in learning more about water’s phase change properties. The scientist decides to perform an experiment to determine the amount of time it would take to melt ice compared to the amount of time it would take for water to boil

Explain how the scientist should collect and organize the data. Identify any measurement devices that should be used and the number of trials that should be performed. in 3 sentence

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To collect data on the melting time of ice, the scientist should set up an experiment where a controlled amount of ice is placed in a container and monitored until it completely melts. The time taken (in minutes or seconds) for the ice to melt should be recorded using a stopwatch or timer. Similarly, to collect data on the boiling time of water, the scientist should measure the time taken for water to reach the boiling point using a thermometer and a stopwatch or timer. Multiple trials should be performed for each experiment, preferably at least three, to obtain more reliable and accurate results.
