Why would the dark colored fish have a better chance of surviving after the new predator is introduced?

• The predator can move faster than this species of small fish

• The predator cannot see them as well as the fish of the light color

• The predator predicts where each fish will be

Students are asked to make a claim about which design will be both break-resistant and keep the water hot for the longest time. Which claim best meets the two criteria?

• Bottle 1: It has an unbreakable steel lining.

• Bottle 2: It has a glass inner lining which is a better insulator

• Bottle 3: It has an unbreakable steel inner lining and a foam cover that will keep the water hot for the longest time.

• Bottle 3: It has glass inner lining and a foam cover that will keep the water hot for the longest time.
