Thermal Energy OpenSciEd Quiz

Look at the data table above. This data is sample data from the cold cup test in Lesson 1 where we filled the regular cup and thefancy cup with ice cold water.

According to the data above, which cup did a better job at keeping the water cold?

• regular cup

• fancy cup

• both cups kept the water equally cold

• neither cup kept the water cold

In Lesson 2 we focused on trying to identify which cup features are most important in helping to keep the drink cold.

While deciding which features to test, we discussed how to create a "Fair Test".

Which of the following choices would NOT help to create a "Fair Test"?

• Test some of the cups in a classroom and test some of the cups outdoors.

• Run each test for the same duration (perhaps for 15 minutes).

• Begin with the same amount of water (or water/ice mixture).

• Take temperature readings at the same time for all tests (perhaps every 2-3 minutes).

• Begin with water (or water/ice mixture) at the same temperature.

In lesson 3, we investigated whether or not the same features of a cup that kept water cold would also keep hot water hot inside the cup.

According to the data above (which our class data agreed with), in which cup did the hot water cool off the LEAST?

• regular cup

• fancy cup

• 1

• 2

• 3
