Task 4 Pond Temperatures in Winter As the temperature of the water in a pond drops in winter, the water becomes heaviest at 4 C. It sinks to the bottom of the pond, with colder, lighter water and ice floating to the top. If the air temperature above the pond is -9 C, what is the difference in the temperature between the air temperature and the bottom of the pond which is 4 C? Show how you have checked your results.
