Last week, we predicted and planned an experiment involving what type of material makes the best thermal insulators. This week we were lucky enough to conduct that experiment! We used felt, bubble wrap, aluminium foil and left one beaker without a thermal insulator and used thermometers to test the temperature of the water over 30 minutes. The starting temperature was 40 degrees Celsius.
