1 You are going to investigate the loss of body temperature from an adult animal and from a baby animal using a large test-tube and a small test-tube to represent the animals. (a) (i) Read through the procedure in part (a)(ii). Complete the heading of the first column of Table 1.1, including units. [1] (ii) Procedure • Use the hot water to fill the large test-tube carefully to the line marked. • Place a thermometer in the hot water in the large test-tube. • When the reading stops rising, record in Table 1.1 the temperature to the nearest 0.5°C of the hot water in the large test-tube for time = 0. • Start the stopclock. • Read and record in Table 1.1 the temperature to the nearest 0.5°C of the water in the large test-tube every minute, for 5 minutes. • Repeat the above procedure using the small test-tube instead of the large test-tube. Use a fresh supply of hot water.
