Which material makes the best heat insulator?

We continued working scientifically this week by designing and carrying out a test to see which material would make the best heat insulator.

We covered five beakers with different materials before filling them with boiling water. Using a thermometer, we then measured the temperature every five minutes to see which beaker retained its heat for the longest. The materials we chose were:

• cotton
• netting
• quilting
• paper
• bubble wrap

We have the results but are hoping to present them in a slightly more interesting way than just a table so check back next week to find out which material was the best!
