OSE Week 2

Why do drinks in regular cups warm up more quickly than those in fancy cups?

• Because regular cups don’t have special materials to insulate the drink

• Because the cup changes the drink’s flavor

• Because it is magic

• Because regular cups are smaller

How could we test the claim that the fancy cup works better than the regular cup?

• By measuring the temperature change in both cups over time

• By drawing pictures of the cups

• By asking friends which cup looks better

• By reading reviews online

What conclusion can be drawn from the temperature data provided in the text?

• The fancy cup keeps drinks colder for longer than the regular cup.

• The regular cup doesn’t change at all in temperature.

• Both cups keep drinks equally cold.

• Neither cup is effective at keeping drinks cold.

What can we infer about the materials used in the fancy cup compared to the regular cup?

• The fancy cup might have insulating materials to keep drinks cold.

• The fancy cup is made of magical materials.

• The regular cup has special cooling abilities.

• The fancy cup is heavier than the regular cup.

Which question would best help in investigating why the drink in the fancy cup stays colder?

• What materials are the fancy cup made of?

• How long does it take to fill each cup?

• Can the fancy cup hold ice cream?

• How many colors does the fancy cup come in?

What evidence would be most useful to collect in the experiment comparing the 2 cups?

• The temperature measurements over time for both cups

• The colors of each cup

• The weight of the cups

• The price of each cup

Why is it necessary to make the test between the fancy cup and the regular cup fair?

• To ensure that the results are accurate and reliable

• To make the experiment look more interesting

• So that everyone gets to use the fancy cup

• To know which cup is heavier

Why does the drink in a regular cup warm up faster than in a fancy cup?

• Because the regular cup lacks proper insulation to keep the drink cold

• Because the regular cup is made of metal

• Because the regular cup is too small

• Because the regular cup has a lid that lets heat in

What are some parts of the fancy cup that help keep a drink cold for longer?

• Double-walled insulation and airtight lid

• A fancy design and colorful lid

• Heavy material and a wide base

• A handle and straw

How can you test the claim that the fancy cup keeps drinks colder longer than the regular cup?

• Measure and compare the temperature changes in both cups over time

• Ask friends which cup looks cooler.

• Check online reviews of the fancy cup.

• Use different types of drinks in both cups.
