How Effective Is Cooling Down

Four test tubes containing water that was all in different conditions of one macrocosm a normal test tube covered in publisher, the same but was pursy with a fan, a alter test tube covered in newspaper and the same one that was blown with a fan.For fifteen minutes, the temperature of the water in the test tube is measured every minute. The results above obligate shown that the test tube that was covered with dry newspapers percentage change is not that grand from the original to the final temperature, as it is only 32%. As wind is blown to the same dry newspaper test tube, the percentage change of the temperature increase, universe 38%. When it comes to the test tube covered with the wet newspaper the percentage change increase much more with a 53 % change. The highest percentage change, with 62% is the test tube that was covered with wet newspaper and blown by the wind.In theory, as our corpse heats up over the normal temperature, our body senses that there is an increase in heat, therefore it releases heat as sweat to cool us down. This is monitored by a part of our brain called the hypothalamus which monitors the temperature of riptide in our body. The hypothalamus sends signals when our blood temperature increases or decreases. It sends signals because there is a change in levels, this called negative feedback. The signals sent is then carried by neurons to some other parts of the body, this process happens by the arterials being widen, which then will make the blood flow thr ough with(predicate) our skin.Consequently, our shunt vessels will close the blood will then transfer heat from our body issue to the skin. Thus the temperature of our skin will increase, which then eventually cause our body to sweat. Based on the results that were obtained from the data were similar to the theory, when our body is wet, the temperature changes and decreases more. Similar from the data above, the wet newspaper had a 53% changed compared to 32% dry newspaper. This indicates that when our body is wet, there is a higher chance of a larger percentage change than being dry.Same, when the wind blows to the newspaper, it made it faster for the temperature to return normal. Furthermore, the Standard Deviation error bars are not too far apart to the column thus it shows that my data is fairly accurate. Evaluation Limitations Why? ghost The different initial temperature of water Because the water that was poured into the test tube had different temperatures at the start, th e change in temperature of each test tube arent constant By boiling the water in a specific temperature, so that when it is poured the temperature will be the same The layering of newspaper for each test tubeWhen the layering of the newspaper is thick, it will keep the test tube slow down the rate of changing temperature, with a keep down newspaper, it will be faster Keep the newspaper layering at the same thickness, make sure each test tube is covered in the same amount of layers Difficult to tell the temperature through the test tube/newspaper Because we cant raise the thermometer up, there was a difficulty in practice session it, as it was covered by the newspaper, so then we had to guess sometimes By layering it with something more translucent, so that it will be easier to see The different distance of the fanAs there was no standards for the length of distance of the fan to the test tube, the percentage change will not be precise By making the distance from the fan to the te st tube a control, thus having the same distance for each
