- Step 1: Boil water and measure a cup of it into each travel cup. One cup is covered with a knitted cozy and one is not. The initial measurement of the uncovered cup: 188 degrees Fahrenheit. The measurement of the covered cup: 186 degrees Fahrenheit. (difference of 2 degrees)
- Step 2: After 15 minutes, check both cups and take new measurements. Uncovered cup: 152 degrees Fahrenheit. Covered cup: 158 degrees Fahrenheit. (difference of 6 degrees)
- Step 3: After another 15 minutes (30 minutes from the start), take final measurement. The uncovered cup: 131 degrees Fahrenheit. The covered cup: 140 degrees Fahrenheit! (difference of 9 degrees)
Our theory was proved! The cup cozy kept the drink approximately 9 degrees warmer for 30 minutes than the cup with no cozy did. Just goes to show that some science is applicable in the home!
