A student investigates: Which insulation material keeps water hot the longest? They wrap identical cups with either foam, fiberglass, or plastic. Each cup gets 500 mL of water starting at 80°C, and all cups sit in the same room. After 60 minutes, the student records the water temperature. What is the independent variable in this investigation?
