A student is investigating how temperature affects the mass of a ball of clay. She will record the mass of the clay, place it in the freezer for 15 minutes, and measure the mass of clay again. She will repeat the investigation every 15 minutes for a total of two hours. Which tool will the student need to complete the investigation?

Anita had a nail, a pencil, a rubber eraser, a paper clip, and a plastic ruler. She tied a piece of string around each object and used tape to suspend each one from the edge of a table so it could swing freely. Then she brought a horseshoe magnet slowly toward each object and observed what happened. What question did Anita want to answer with her experiment?

Four small metal cylinders were filled with boiling water and placed into different containers. The containers were all the same size and shape but were made of different materials. A thermometer was placed in a small opening at the top of each cylinder so that the temperature of the water could be recorded. Results were recorded in the table above. Which container was the best insulator?
