The International Boiling Point Project Ever Wonder What Causes
a Pot of Water to Boil? If you have, this project is for you! We
have people all over the world boiling water. In the past we've
had climbers on Mt. Everest, school children in La Paz, Bolivia
and college professors in Cheyenne, Wyoming all participating in
the project. The purpose of this project is to discover which
factor in the experiment (room temperature, elevation, volume of
water, or heating device) has the greatest influence on boiling
point. Anyone can participate in this year's project. All you
have to do is boil a bit of water, record a bit of information,
and send it along to us to include in the database of results.
Then, students can analyze all of the data to reach an answer to
the question: What causes a pot of water to boil This project is
developed and managed by the Center for Innovation in
Engineering and Science Education (CIESE) which is located at
Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. You can
