How is the behavior of food coloring in the cool and heated water different? What caused the differences in their behavior?
The food coloring in cool water remained at the bottom. In heated water, it rose to the top, moved to the sides, and then sank. The heated water was less dense and rose, while water cooled at the surface, became denser, and sank. This movement created convection currents.
