Introduction
Different types of hot dogs will cool at different rates after they have been cooked. This activity takes the first steps in investigating this phenomenon by measuring the rate that a warmed hot dog cools. Students can compare the ingredients of various types of hot dogs (all-beef, veggie, turkey, etc.) to help explain the differences in cooling rates.
ObjectivesThe objectives of this activity are to observe, measure, and explain the capacity of different types of hot dogs to retain heat.
