Camila: Danny, our science project is due in two weeks. Did you think about what we should test?
Danny: I did. What if we test which kind of cup stops ice from melting the longest? We could try a paper cup, a plastic cup, and a foam cup.
Camila: I like that. We can put the same number of ice cubes in each cup and check them every ten minutes.
Danny: My brother says the foam cup will win for sure. He thinks we should just write that down as our answer right now.
Camila: Let's not jump the gun. We have to do the test first. Then we will know what really happens.
Danny: You're right. I'll bring the cups on Monday, and you can bring a timer.
Camila: Deal. And let's keep all three cups on the same table, so one of them isn't sitting in the sun while the others are in the shade.
