READ FIRST. Ms. Fortney was cooking a pizza and removed the pizza from the oven, which was set to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. She wanted to cool down the pizza as quickly as possible to eat it. In her home, she had a freezer (set to 0 degrees Fahrenheit), a refrigerator (set to 40 degrees Fahrenheit), and the countertop (which is at the temperature of the room, 76 degrees Fahrenheit). Level 1-2 If Melinda were to put the pizza on the countertop, which temperature do you predict the pizza would get to? Explain your answer. Use this graph for the next 2 questions, Level 3-4 Using the graph, at what temperature was thermal equilibrium reached between the pizza and countertop? How do you know? How long did it take Ms. Fortney's slice of pizza to cool down on the countertop? How do you know? Level 5-6 Evaluate this statement: “When I put my pizza into the freezer, the coldness inside the freezer will be absorbed by the slice of pizza.”Evaluate means to provide your opinion on whether a statement is accurate or not and make clear why you think so. Level 7-8 Draw a model to show how the slice of pizza cooled down on the countertop. Be sure to demonstrate the flow of energy between objects. Explain your model. Be sure to:Use evidence from our investigation to support your explanation.Use the following vocabulary words: thermal equilibriumenergy transfertemperaturesystemsurroundings
