Who cannot be excited to see all the science we've learned behind what we thought were such simple cups! After much thought, discussing, and modeling our thinking...we came to consensus about how each feature may play a critical role in preventing energy transfer in a cup system. I am so proud of these sixth graders!
Here is some of our group thinking that lead into establishing consensus! Way to go 6th grade....now we'll use this knowledge to engineer newly designed cups that can withstand heat and light (hopefully) as well as fit in a cup holder and not be too expensive! (Oh wait, it shouldn't be terrible for the environment, too!)
