Students were conducting an investigation to see how the lid of a cup affects the temperature of the liquid inside the cup. The students will set up two identical cups, one with a lid and one without. They will use the same amount of water for each cup with the same initial temperature. After 30 minutes they will record the temperature of each cup to see which one had the most temperature change. Drag and drop each of the variables to their correct classification.
