Students at your school have been burning their legs on the slides at recess. Which would be the best investigation for determining the material that should be used to make the slides safe for students' hands?
Measure the temperature of different materials on other playground equipment when they are in the sun and in the shade. Compare to see which has the lowest temperature.

Measure the temperature of the material on the ground under the slide and compare it to the temperature of the slide during the hottest part of the day.
300s - Q8
Ashley is trying to earn money by opening a lemonade stand in her neighborhood, but she is having a problem with the lemonades getting warm in the hot summer sun.
Ashley has a large box to keep the lemonade in while she tries to sell them. She also has these materials to choose from to put in or on the box:
styrofoam, plastic wrap, tin foil, black felt, cotton balls, yellow fleece, and black paper
How could Ashley create a device to keep her lemonade cool in the sun?
She should create a box with styrofoam and cotton balls since these materials are insulators.
She should create a box with black paper and styrofoam since conductors and insulators built together can prevent the lemonade from getting warm.
She should create a box with black felt and black paper since black is a conductor.
She should create a box with tin foil and black paper to block the sun’s reflection.
300s - Q9
The PTA is selling hot coffee for the teachers at school on Friday mornings. What type of cup should they use to make sure that the hot coffee stays hot for an extended period of time?
Cups that are made out of paper so they are inexpensive, which means the PTA will earn more money.
Cups that insulate heat well using styrofoam, so the heat will stay inside the cup.
Cups that conduct heat well using metal, so the cup will become warm.
