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.

D the cup in the dark corner of the classroom

Answer 1

Based on the given locations and the fact that the experiment involves measuring temperature, the prediction would be:

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

This is because direct sunlight will likely heat the water in the cup more effectively than the other locations, which are either shaded or indoors with potentially lower temperatures.
