Iced Tea Jars Activity
1)Make sure your iced tea jar is labeled in inches from the bottom. Attach an 18-in piece of aquarium hose to your iced tea jar. Make sure it is secured well to the spout and that the other end is closed. Start by placing two pinholes at selected points in your hose. Draw a diagram of your iced tea jar and hose, making sure you label the placement of the holes and the size of the hole.
2)Making sure the spout is turned off, fill the jar halfway (to the nearest inch mark). When ready, release the spout and start the timer. Record how long it takes to go down each inch.
3)Using this data, calculate the rate of the water coming out the hose.
4)Using Calculus, calculate the rate the height was changing at time 10 seconds.
5)You must complete at least 3 more experiments of your choosing with the data. Consider changing hole placement, size, number of holes. Follow every step from above
