Mr Toby set us a rather odd challenge this week! He told us that, on his daring voyages around the world, the famous Tudor Explorer Sir Walter Raleigh insisted on drinking piping hot tea! The only problem was, he would never drink his tea right away…apparently he was too busy searching for new land, fighting with Spanish ships or just showing off his fine Tudor clothes! By the time he came to drink his tea, it would be cold!
We worked together to plan a fair test, so that we could compare how well different materials kept the tea hot over time. Read on to learn more about our experiment and to see more photos.
