Insulation Experiment

This week we have been conducting experiments on insulation. To do this students have been wrapping cups in tin foil, wool and fabric then measuring their results over time.

A great bit of science is involved as they need to make sure that is fair testing involved.
How do you measure each cup the same?
What variables have changed? Which variables have stayed the same?
Did the results match my prediction and can I explain why?

All of this is linked to our inquiry on eco housing and the benefit of insulation in building.
After completing the experiment students then graphed their results on Google Sheet.
