Cold Cup Challenge Experiment Analysis

The video tutorial guides students through an experiment in the thermal energy unit, where they test if a fancy cup keeps drinks colder longer than a regular cup. Students learn to use thermometers, set up the experiment with constants, and conduct the cold cup challenge by recording temperature changes over time. The video provides detailed instructions and emphasizes the importance of using the same ice water for both cups to ensure a fair test.

What is the main claim made by the cup company regarding their product?

• It is cheaper than regular cups.

• It keeps drinks colder longer.

• It is more environmentally friendly.

• It keeps drinks hotter longer.

What tool is essential for conducting the experiment?

• A measuring cup

• A thermometer

• A scale

• A stopwatch

Why is it important to set the thermometers to Fahrenheit?

• Because the experiment requires it

• Because Celsius is not accurate

• Because Fahrenheit is easier to read

• Because the cups are designed for Fahrenheit

• Room temperature water

• Distilled water

• Hot water

• Ice water

How are the thermometers positioned in the cups?

• On the side

• Floating on top

• As straws

• At the bottom

What should students do if they are absent during the experiment?
