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.

Why does Camila want to keep all three cups on the same table?
