 What is Our Product?
Our product consist of marbles, aluminum foil, marbles and two different
cups. Our product keeps a cup of coffee stay hotter/warm for a period of
time. We used the aluminum foil to wrap around the heated marbles to keep
the temperature higher and longer. We also used a foam cup wrapped in
aluminum foil so that the heat from the marbles will conduct from the foam
cup to the hot coffee in it.

Hypothesis
Qt: Would our cup be able to hold more heat longer than a regular coffee
cup?

Hypothesis: With our independent variable being time and the dependent
variable being temperature, we know that with our mighty mug we will be
able to hold heat longer than a regular coffee cup.
How we checked our hypothesis
● We took a regular coffee up and started to add extra Stuff to
help keep the heat trapped inside the cup such as tin foil and
marbles. Tin foil is Mainly used to keep food warm a little longer so
we thought it'd be a good idea to add tin foil to a coffee cup that
is already supposed to keep the coffee warm. The more items that
preserve heat you add to a product helps keep the liquid or food
hot for a longer period of time. This is why we added tin foil and
marbles to our coffee cup. Our product should be able to keep the
coffee hot longer because we added things to help preserve the
heat in a little longer.
Materials Used to Make our Product
1. Large Mcdonald's Coffee Cup: We
decided that we would need a larger
cup.
2. Styrofoam Cup: Since styrofoam is
used often to preserve heat.
3. Aluminum Foil: We covered the
styrofoam cup so that the heat will
stay longer because aluminum foil is
also a heat preserving material.
4. Marbles: We used glass marbles
because they can stay heated for a
longer period of time and can also
make sure that the coffee would not
get cold fast.
Details we needed to know before experimenting
- Average perfect temperature to drink coffee: 68°- 79°C
- Average time when finishing a cup of coffee: 10-15 min
- Average cup size: 9 ounces = 255g
- Our cup size: 21 fl oz
- How much liquid can styrofoam cup hold: 400ml
How we tested our product
1. We heated the marbles in boiling hot water.

2. We wrapped the marbles in aluminum foil and placed them at the bottom of the
cup so the heated marbles would not lose their heat.

3. We wrapped aluminum foil also around the styrofoam cup to conserve heat.

4. We added hot water to the styrofoam cup and tested how much and how long
the heat in the coffee would last.
Statistical Results- Regular Cups
Statistical Results- Our Cup v. Regular Cup
Data Table
Difference
Difference: Our cup can hold temperature up to 5 degrees more than the
regular styrofoam cups over a 10 minute period of time. Which means that
the heat from the coffee preserved will take longer to cool down and will be
still hot enough to enjoy.
