To investigate absorption, Hector cuts two rectangles from five different colored sheets of construction paper. He then staples three sides of each pair of rectangles to make a pocket and inserts a thermometer into each.
He takes the thermometers in the construction paper pockets outside, where it is clear and sunny. The initial temperature
of each thermometer is 22°C. The image shows the thermometers after being outside for 15 minutes.

Complete Hector's table by recording the final temperature and calculating the temperature change for each
thermometer
