Description | ||
| Convection is the phenomena characterized by the movement of molecules in gases and liquids. Heat causes molecules to be active, while cooler temperatures result in less activity. Convection can be observed in volcanoes, in the ocean, in cooking, in heating your home and even in decorative lava lamps. In this science fair project you will observe how the addition of salt to water effects convection. | ||
