Measuring Exothermic reactions

Trying 0.1g then 0.2g and then 0.3g Magnesium with 1M Copper Sulfate and comparing the temperature rise and the rate of that rise. The orange line was different since we used @pascoscientific Sparkvue rather than Capstone to capture the data.

Using the ripple Tank


 Are circular waves different from straight waves? Taking time to find out. The wave's amplitude decreases as the circular waves radiate out, but their wavelength and frequency stay the same. Need to try this in the pool (a much bigger ripple tank) to find out more.
