Convection snake experiment
http://www.physics.org/marvinandmilo.asp?id=14Click on the above link and you will be directed on a Marvin and Milo comic. Marvin and Milo will explain clearly what materials you need and what you need to carry out to construct a spiral snake. If you do not understand the instructions found on this site you have the option to enter the below link:
From this link you have the option to print out a ready-made spiral snake.
When you complete constructing the spiral snake you can take a photo of it and post it here on the blog for your classmates to see.
To carry out the experiment you need to put your spiral snake on a heat source. Examples of heat sources include a light bulb, candle and electric heater. Always carry out this experiment in the SUPERVISION of an ADULT!
After carrying out the experiment did you find out how the spiral snake works? Why does it swirl around? Why is the heat source important in this experiment? What does the heat source do to the spiral snake? Put your observations here!
