Sketch convection current in making rice cake (palitaw)

• In order to make palitaw, you boil the sticky rice dough in water. At first, it sinks because it has a higher density than water.
• When you heat water on the stove, the bottom of the pot gets warm, which warms both the palitaw and the water. This makes the water and the palitaw less dense or floatier, so they rise. (See palitaw.png for an example)
• Draw the convection current that is going on when the rice cake is being made.
• When water is boiling, heat moves from cold water to warm water, which is called convection.

• As the water at the bottom of the pot gets hotter, it gets less dense and floats to the top. The warmer water from the bottom of the pot replaces the cooler, denser water near the top. This makes the water near the top of the pot denser than the water around it, so it sinks. This is what happens when the rice cake is being made. (see convection current.png, which is attached)

The Palitaw is a white, flat, chewy rice cake that is a traditional Kakanin (rice cake) from the Philippines that is made by combining glutinous rice flour and water.

Palitaw is made by combining glutinous rice flour and water to make a dough, rolling it into balls, boiling it until it becomes soft and chewy, and then rolling it in sugar and coconut.
