Newton's Law of Cooling Question- relationship between the temperature of the substance and the initial room temperature

[writer2019]

Is there a relationship between the temperature of the substance and the initial room temperature? Make a conjecture.
Find a way of testing your conjecture in and present your results with a conclusion.

Through the research that I conducted is that I wasn't able to find actual supporting answer to this question. I struggle with Physics and math and because of Coronavirus my school has shut down meaning I don't have access to my teachers or tutor. The main line that i am thinking is that if it is in a closed room when the substance cools it lets out energy and that energy is absorbed by the air meaning the air might get hotter in the room meaning that as it cools the room temperature increases. Can someone verify if my thinking is correct and what way can i test this conjecture.

The task in relation to the question is: You are going to heat some substance. Record the room temperature before you start. Also record the name of the substance and its volume. Heat the substance to close to boiling point and take a temperature reading. Once heated, record the temperature of the substance every 5 minutes for 60 minutes.
