1. AGENDA CONVECTION LAB HYPOTHESIS: “IF we heat up water, then(convection will or will not occur)because (what you thinks causes convection to occur or not to occur). Testable Question: When a liquid is heated, does convection occur?

2. CONVECTION CURRENT LAB PROCEDURES TURN ON HOT PLATE (HOT PLATE SHOULD NOT BE HIGHER THAN 4) ALLOW BEAKER OF WATER TO HEAT FOR 3 MINUTES. SPRINKLE CONFETTI PAPER INTO THE BEAKER OF WATER. PUT TWO DROPS OF DYE INTO THE BEAKER OF WATER. OBSERVE THE MOVEMENT OF THE CONFETTI PAPER. DRAW THE BEAKER OF WATER AND USE ARROWS TO SHOW THE MOVEMENT OF PAPER.
