Our 1st investigation to determine how containers keep stuff from warming or cooling. We had an idea to investigate features of fancy cup system since we knew something was going on to keep our cold drink from warming. Layers? Lid? Material? ⁦@NGSSchat⁩ ⁦@OpenSciEd⁩

In highly abbreviated form: use representations, ask “why?” and expect explanation, embed the math in contexts when possible, honor mistakes.
