Question: Will adding sand and water lower the inner pot's temperature? Hypothesis: The temperature of the smaller pot will lower by 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Data Table: around a number means it is a repeating decimal. degrees C || 20.(5) degrees C || 19.(4) C || 18.8 degrees C || 15 degrees C || 14.(4) degrees C || 15 degrees C || degrees f || 69 degrees f || 67 degrees F || 66 degrees F || 59 degrees F || 58 degrees F || 59 degrees F || Kelvin || 294.26(1) Kelvin || 293.70(5) Kelvin || 292.59(4) Kelvin || 292.03(8) Kelvin || 288.15 Kelvin || 287.59(4) Kelvin || 288.15 Kelvin || Summary: The temperature did drop around 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and around 8 degrees C. My hypothesis was supported. What I did to set it up: The smaller pot is in the larger pot. They are separated with water and sand. The thermometer is in the smaller pot.(As shown Below)

= Lydia's Project = =I used to terocatta pots to make my project. I used sand to fill the space between the two pots. I saturated the sand with water. This cooled the inside pot down. Also, I saturated a towel and put it over the pots to cool the contraption down even more.=
