Material 2

c)

Material 3

d)

Material 4

Four containers made of different materials, each containing water at 30C, were set out on a table. The initial temperature of the water was recorded. The temperature of the water was also recorded 15 minutes later. Which container was the most effective at preventing heat transfer from the water to the environment?
