Today in school we learned about insulators in science. To learn about them more efficiently we did a science experiment. W took a plastic bottle and rapped it in any material we wanted, but the only rule was that it had to fill a gallon sized plastic bag. I stuffed it until I almost EXPLODED ( it actually did rip) some of the materials were bubble rap, felt, paper, and other materials. Once we rapped it all around the bottle we put hot water inside of it and covered the top with plastic rap. We needed to know how hot the water was so we put a temperature probe into it to know if it's getting cooler. We put the other one in the ice bath wee are insulated bottle was going to be put. It started out as 40 degrees cellcious and the cold water started out at 4 degrees cellcious when the warm water got cooler the temperature probe recorded it. After all we found out that the warm water only cooled down 2 degrees! I hope you thought that this is cool I do.
