The data table below shows the change in temperatures of a cup of tea, which sat in a cool science classroom over a 30 minute time period. 

a)

The thermal energy of the cool classroom moved from the room into the tea.

b)

The thermal energy of the tea moved from inside the cup to the surrounding air.

c)

Condensed water vapor from the air formed around the rim of the cup, which then

transferred thermal energy into the tea.

d)

Evaporation of the tea resulted in less tea in the cup, which decreased the amount

of thermal energy in the cup.
