6th grade stem students studied thermal energy this week. The students created insulated cups to keep water cold and also were given cups of plain water. Their goal was to create the biggest difference in temperature between to insulated and uninsulated cups in 20 minutes. Students creatively found shade, black surfaces, and heated rocks to master the challenge. One team kept their water cold, with the water increasing 1 degree C. Another team achieved an 11 degree C (20F) difference in cup temperatures between the insulated and uninsulated.
What a clever group of scientists!
