Multiple Choice

PART B: Which statement best supports your answer to the previous question? (Why did the material you chose keep the cup warm for the longest amount of time?)

• The material is a conductor. It allows thermal energy to go inside the cup.

• The material is a conductor. It allows thermal energy to go away from the cup.

• The material is an insulator. It allows the thermal energy to stay inside the cup.

• The material is an insulator. It allows the thermal energy to go away from the cup.
