Nick's class did an experiment. They put the same amount of water into four paper cups. To start, the temperature was the same in each cup. They put the cups in four different places. They left them for thirty minutes. Next, they used a thermometer to find the temperature of each cup of water. Predict which location should have the highest temperature.

Answer 1

The location that should have the highest temperature after thirty minutes is likely:

B: the cup in a sunny spot on the grass.

This is because the sun will directly warm the water in the cup, leading to a higher temperature compared to the other locations, which are either indoors or shaded from sunlight.
