Equipment: Aluminium can, scissor tongs, Bunsen burner, heatproof mat, tripod, gauze mat, an open container of water.
Method:
1)Set up a Bunsen burner underneath a tripod and gauze mat.
2)Pour approximately 50-60mL of water into your can. It should be no more than one-quarter full.
3)Heat the can of water until steam is seen escaping from the top.
Carefully grip the can with the scissor tongs. Ensure you have a firm hold of the can before lifting it off the gauze mat.
4)Quickly, but very carefully, invert the can as you plunge it into a container of water.
Observation:
As the can was heating up, I observed how the steam came up the time that it took for the steam to come up and what it looked like when it was in the container. So about 1 min later the can started steaming then we put the can in the container, To see the results, It crunched and as it did that we took some pictures and did our results.
Explanation:
We had cold water in the can, then heated it up to make steam, after that the particles inside settled down because of the cold water.
Results:
