SCRAMBLED EGGS ON TOAST A. Class Experiments. How HEAT PASSES FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. 1. Radiation of heat. a. Stand in front of a hot stove or fire and notice the heat. Then hold a screen between your face and the fire. Do you feel the heat on your face as before? Yet the air that surrounds you is still warm. Heat that passes in straight lines directly from one object to another at a distance is called radiant heat. The heat is said to pass by radiation. b. Determine whether a bright, clean surface or a dull, rough one radiates heat more easily. Take two cheap tin cups, one that is bright and new and polished as highly as possible, the other that has been held in a flame until it is rough and dull and sooty. Have both cups at room tem- perature and fill each with equal amounts of boiling water. Test with thermometers to see which cools first. Is it economical of heat to keep the sides of a saucepan smooth and clean ? RADIATION AND CONDUCTION OF HEAT 115 2. Conduction of heat. a. Hold one end of a long piece of wire, or an iron poker, in a flame, while you hold the other end in your hand. Feel how the heat is led along or conducted from one part of the metal to another. b. Are all substances equally good conductors of heat? Repeat (a) with a glass rod or a long splinter of wood, instead of the wire. Does the other end grow as hot? Hold a test tube two-thirds full of water in a flame, but at an angle so that the water at the top is directly heated. Can you get the water at the top hot while the water at the bottom is still cool ? Is water a good conductor of heat ? Is air ? c. Test the relative conductivity of two saucepans by taking two of different materials (as for example, one of aluminum and one of granite). Pour into them equal amounts of cold water, and place them over two flames which are equally hot, or heat first one and then the other. Determine which boils in the shorter time. B. SCRAMBLE AN EGG. Serve on a slice of toast. Decide how the heat has been transmitted to each in the cooking. SCRAMBLED EGG. Beat an egg slightly, add a tablespoon of milk, and sea- son with pepper and salt. Pour into a pan in which a teaspoon of butter
