Tameka's class is learning about heat energy. Heat energy can cause objects to change temperature. Tameka thinks the color of an object affects how quickly it changes temperature. Tameka's class does an experiment to test this idea. They choose four different colors of paper they want to test. They fold each different-colored piece of paper and place a thermometer inside of it. They record the beginning temperature and put the paper outside in the bright sunshine for two hours. After two hours, they record the temperature again. The picture shows their experiment.Which table correctly shows the data Tameka’s class collected?
Which graph shows the change in temperature for each color after two hours in the sunshine?
A student takes the temperature of 4 objects and then places them in direct sunlight for 4 fours. Which table MOST likely shows the temperative after 4hours?
There was no change.
Four cups were filled at 80*C. They were left out for 2 hours. The picture shows the temperature after 2 hours. Which material BEST keeps the temperature high?
plastic
glass
foam
metal
Kim wants to know how much heat is given off by her desk lamp. What is the BEST way to measure the hear from the light bulb?
