1.  You have a can of soda in your lunchbox that you want to keep cold. Which material will work best to keep it cold?

• Aluminum foil wrapped around the soda because metals transfer heat energy easily.
• A paper towel wrapped around the soda because paper soaks up the moisture.
• Wax paper wrapped around the soda because wax paper traps the moisture.
• Your wool sweater wrapped around the soda because wool traps air.
