Now that you have the knowledge of the highest specific heat capacity and lowest porosity, which material would you choose to build Rover's new doghouse roof?
Oak has the highest heat capacity; therefore, oak can absorb a lot of heat without raising its temperature. This is good for very hot areas. Concrete has the lowest porosity so water will not leak through its pores and drip into the doghouse. This is good for rainy areas. However, clay is second on both lists and might be a good choice overall for hot and rainy weather conditions. Rover should be happy with this.
