3. Which will have a higher temperature reading—a thermometer inside a mitten laying on a table or a thermometer laying on the same table in the same room conditions? Explain your answer.
The thermometer inside the mitten will have a higher temperature reading compared to the thermometer laying on the table in the same room conditions. This is because the mitten provides insulation and traps heat, creating a microclimate inside the mitten. As a result, the temperature inside the mitten will be higher than the temperature of the surrounding room.
