**2.** Touch the four plates.\\  
Rank these in order of temperature.\\
Explain the reasoning for your ranking.\\

**Student Responses**\\
Students will likely think that the plates are all different temperatures because the plates feel different when the students touch them.\\
The students will likely rate the dark metal plate as coldest, next the lighter metal plate, then the wood plate, and the styrofoam as the warmest.\\
