Read ALL directions carefully.

Your task: Find out which of the containers will keep a hot drink warm for the longest time.

This is what you should do:

• Place a thermometer in each of the containers BEFORE the hot water is poured in. Your teacher will pour the hot water when you are ready. BE CAREFUL. THE WATER IS VERY HOT.
  
  
• Measure the temperature on each thermometer as soon as the hot water is poured in.

• Write these measurements and the time in the table on the opposite page.
