The Insulated Cup Experiment
State the Problem- We want to find out which material would insulate the cup the most.
Hypothesis- If we use the felt material to insulate the cup, then the hot beverage in the cup would stay warm longer than the others.
Identifying the Independent Variable- The independent(manipulated) variable was the material used to insulate the cup.(Aluminum foil, felt, and wax paper)
Identifying the Dependent Variable- The dependent variable, or the variable that changes, was the changing heat of the beverage.
Identifying the Controlled Variable- The controlled variable was the cup without any material to insulate it.
Procedure-
Wrap each cup with different materials.
Fill half of each cup with hot water.

The Yeti Rambler has taken off where it’s more expensive and luxurious brethren, the Yeti cooler, has left off. The explosion of demand for this particular cup is due to its highly engineered design, which features 18/8 stainless steel material and a double walled vacuum insulation, which keeps a drink hot or cold twice as long as plastic cups (“Frequently asked questions”, n.d.). The cutting edge cup also features a gasket lid that locks beverages inside of the cup, allowing one to move freely without fear of spilling (“Frequently asked questions”, n.d.). Saporito (2016) narrates the Yeti Coolers story as it was started in 2005 by Ryan Seiders and his brother Roy Seiders as a way to provide premium coolers
The advantages of adding a fully sealable lid to our cups includes minimizing the risk of spilling the cup’s contents, as well as this lid has the potential to keep liquids at their desired temperature for longer due to the absence of outside elements constantly entering the cup. One disadvantage to making this fully sealable lid is that some of YETI’s main competitors already have this option available to our customers, so YETI would not be a first mover for this niche market as we have been in the past. But since this product already exists in competitor product lines, the introduction of a fully sealable lid to YETI products is sure to help YETI become more competitive, which results in higher sales and profit. A potential threat to this new product is that YETI will almost certainly charge more for their product, even though the product already exists on the
An Investigation Into How the Thickness of Insulation Affects the Time a Drink Takes to Cool Down
What are the effects of different solutions on the size of a cell? To find a solution this problem my group conducted an experiment/lab. The variables changed (Independent Variable) were the solutions, and the results were the change in size of the gummy bear/cell (Dependant Variable). The control group,to compare our results, was a gummy bear that was not put into any solution. The standardized variables were the color of the gummy bear, the same brand of cup, the amount of solution in each cup, and the amount of time each gummy bear spent in the solution.
Have you ever thought about the preparation and thought that goes into a research experiment? There are many things to consider when planning a study, such as the questions you are trying to answer, the variety of participants that will be studied, and the different variations in the experiment. An important part of the experiment that can have a significant impact on the results are the variables chosen. In doing this, the researcher can easily tell what factors have an effect on the topic under study.
Going into details of the article, I realized that the necessary information needed to evaluate the experimental procedures were not included. However, when conducting an experiment, the independent and dependent variable are to be studied before giving a final conclusion.
The information gained may support or yield opposite results based on predictions being tested. My independent variable would be time and the dependent one would be the enzyme pectinase. I believe the key feature of my experimentation is the control of most factors so that the influence of a single factor can be seen clearly.
particles in it but not as much as the polystyrene cup so it will cool
These student were placed into four groups. In each group, they were asked to fill out what their impressions and feelings were of the experimenter and to answer eight questions. The subject had a choice to answer the questions while being interviewed by the experimenter. Each group had the same task, however in group one, the subject was the control who had to answer the questions. In group two, the subject would answer the question and the experimenter would touch the subjects back. The third group had to answer the questions, but the experimenter would reveal information about himself and self-disclose before the subject would answer the questions. On the fourth group, the experimenter would self-disclose and proceed with the same procedures as group three, but for this group, the experimenter would touch the subject in the back. After the experiment, the subjects were asked to fill out their impressions and feelings. The independent variable for experiment two was the touching and the self-disclosure of the experimenter. The dependent variable was the time spent and duration of the subject’s self-disclosure.
Independent variable: The Concentration of fertiliser in the water lower and higher than the recommended amount. Using more or less of the recommended amount of fertiliser will change this va...
Also, when we put the insulation cans in warn water the water heated up the can. And lastly, in the insulated can experiments, both cooling and heating, when the cans temperature was changed it in turn changed the air temperature
Aim: To find out what type of insulation holds the most heat for a can
Independent variables: The temperature of hcl gas will be decreased and increased throughout the experiment.
Independent variable (pg. 39) – a type of variable that is controlled by the experimenter, and comes before the dependent variable. An example of an independent variable in a study would be the amount of time played by a college football player.
In order for an experiment to be considered a true experimental design, the design must fit specific criteria. The researcher must have a hypothesis for a cause and effect relationship between variables, the treatment group, the control group, random selection for the treatment group, and random assignment for the control group. In a simple experiment, the researcher forms two groups that are similar or equivalent, through probability, to each other in every way possible appropriate to the concept of experiment. The treatment group receives the procedure for the experiment and the control group does not. Therefore, the only difference between the groups will be that one group receives the treatment for the experiment and one group does note. After the experiment is conducted the researcher analysis the results in both groups.
