Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Does your coffee get too cold too fast? Joulies just might be your answer! Learners use experimental data to make a conclusion about how effective Joulies are at keeping coffee at the ideal temperature. A video shows the graph of the temperature of a cup of coffee over time, and scholars must use the data to make their conclusions.
