Using the bar graph, describe how the final temperature at the end of each spoon compares for metal, glass, and plastic after 5 minutes.
Which statement is best supported by the data in the graph?
Explain why Emma used identical spoons and the same amount of time for each material.
How does this investigation use observable properties to compare how different materials behave when heated?
Which conclusion is best supported by the investigation?
A student claims: “Metal conducts heat more effectively than glass or plastic because it transfers more thermal energy in the same amount of time.” Do you agree or disagree? Use evidence from the investigation to support your answer.
