How Effective is Perspiration at Cooling?

Grades 9-12 Performance Task

Contributed by: New York State Alternative Assessment in Science Project (NYSED)

Students collect data on the cooling of water in two different test tubes- one wrapped in wet newspaper and one in dry newspaper. They then identify trends in their data, make predictions, and describe how their experiment is similar to the body's perspiration.
