• Microwave• Stove (or hot plate)• Electric Kettle• Which is most efficient?

METHODS FOR BOILING WATER

For our experiment, we are going to determine the best way to boil water!o Comparing microwave to an Electric Kettle• Time it takes to boil a given quantity of water• Theoretical Power of Microwave vs. Electric Kettle• Insulation Properties of Boiling Mechanism
