    This document describes an experiment where students observed how tea dissolved in water at different temperatures over time. They placed tea bags in room temperature, cold, and hot water and took photos every 30 seconds for 3 minutes. The tea dissolved fastest in hot water and slowest in cold water. By the end of the experiment, the water with tea from hot water was darkest green while cold water was lightest. This provides evidence that particles in liquids move faster at higher temperatures, causing the tea to dissolve more quickly as its particles are carried throughout the water faster. The conclusion is that higher temperatures cause particles to move faster.

    Tea Bag Activity


    In this activity, you will make observations of tea bags placed in water at different temperatures and
    investigate the effects of the different temperatures!

    Ways of Thinking and Doing Science (WOTD)


    ● Follow instructions given to complete an experiment safely.
    ● Make observations and record them in an appropriate table format.
    ● Manipulate different apparatus to make accurate measurements/observations.

    Apparatus

    Transparent cup Stopwatch Tea bags x 3 (identical if possible)


    Procedure

    1. Prepare cold water by putting water into the fridge or melting some ice in water.
    2. Prepare hot water by boiling some water. Handle the hot water with care.
    3. Fill the transparent cup with water at room temperature. Prepare a tea bag and place it into the cup
    gently. Start the stopwatch.
    4. Take a photo of the cup from the side view every 30 seconds for a total of 3 minutes (i.e. 30 secs, 1
    min, 1 min 30 secs, and so on). Do not disturb the water! Insert your photos on the next page.
    5. Record the time taken for the colour of the water to become uniform in the space below.
    6. Repeat steps 3 to 5, replacing the water at room temperature with cold water in the second
    experiment, and with hot water in the third experiment.

    Recording Observations

    1. Record the time taken for the tea to be dispersed uniformly in the beaker of room-temperature
    water, cold water and hot water, in a suitable table below.

    3. Describe your observations of how the tea behaves in each type of water.

    In the room-temperature water, …


    The tea dissolves slower than in the hot water but faster than in the cold, only at about 1 min plus the
    colour of water starts to change to very light green and at the end of the 3 min the water became
    translucent

    In the cold water, …


    The tea dissolves the slowest in cold water and the water only started to change colour at about 90s at
    the end of the experiment the water is more or less still transparent but more too translucent and the
    green colour is a very light green colour

    In the hot water, …


    The tea dissolved the fastest in hot water and the water started to change colour before 1min which
    was so cool. At the end of the experiment the colour of water was also the darkest green compared to
    the other colours

    After a long time, …


    The tea continues to dissolve in the water and the colour of water continues to change until most of the
    tea particles are being “dissolved” into it

    Discussion Questions

    1. What macroscopic evidence do you have that particles of liquids must be moving at all times?

    When food colouring is placed into liquids, they is “spread across “ the whole liquid as when the
    particles of liquid move, they will “bring along” the particles of food colouring and let it dissolve in the
    liquid

    2.  What is the relationship between the behavior of the tea particles and the temperature of the water
    samples?

    3. Using the kinetic particle theory, explain the relationship between the behavior of the tea particles
    and the temperature of the water. Support your explanation with evidence.

    The higher the temperature of the water, the faster and further away the tea particles are. Thus the
    particles will dissolve faster in the water as the particles move around quickly

    4.  What conclusion can be drawn about the speed of particle movement and temperature?

    The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move and the further they are away from each
    other
