Introduction
Through the insulation experiment, we were studying how insulation can affect the temperature and energy in the house/box that we experimented with. As a class and in our groups, we were looking at how the heat flow was affected by the insulation in our box by warming up and cooling down the box. In the experiment, we were seeing how the insulation prevented the rate of heat flow from being strong. Also, we were studying how the energy was flowing while the temperatures were raising and lowering. We studied how warming and cooling the box with insulation affected the T overtime. Through the test, we were trying to learn how different insulations can have different effects on heat flow. As a class, we wanted to see which insulation …show more content…
Team 1 with the super tuff-r, ended up with a maximum Tof 49℉ a max Q of 64 BTU/hr which was not the best or worst of the results. Team 2 with the super tuff-r (2 pieces) had a max Tof 49℉ and a max Q of 12.56 BTU/hr. These results were the best of the whole experiment. Group 3, with the cellofoam, Group 4 had the foam project panel and ended up with a Tof 63℉ and a max Q of 45.36 BTU/hr which was in the middle of the results. Group 5 had the foamboard which ended up with a max Tof 62℉ and a max Q of 43 BTU/hr. This was one of the best results and is in second for the best results. The control group had a max Tof 27℉ and a max Q of 650 BTU/hr which was the worst results. This one had no insulation except the box itself which is it had the worst results. All of the results show, the better the insulation (thickness and R-value), the more likely the experiment is going to work for that box. My group had the worse results other than the control experiment. We only had air as an insulation which had a low R-value and thickness. The super tuff-r (2 pieces) had the best results because it had the lowest BTU/hr. It also was a great insulation considering it had the largest R-value and an average thickness. In all, this did match the prediction because by looking at the thickness and R-value of this material the guess would be that the super tuff-r (2 pieces) would

This will allow you to connect it to the coil without having to hold it with your hands. Make sure the battery is laying on its side so that you can easily reach both terminals. Strip the ends of the coil wire. Use wire strippers to remove the insulation on either end of the wire. These leads will connect to the battery and allow current to flow through the coil. For the best results, you can sand the ends of the leads as well. This will remove any film or protectant that may have been applied to…

things expend energy to keep conditions inside their cells within certain limits. This condition is called homeostasis. • For Example: you shiver when you are too cold to help maintain temperature. You sweat when you are too warm. Birds provide insulation to keep the bird warm. • Living things change over time • Over generations, groups of organisms evolve, or change over time. • Evidence of these changes are found in fossils and DNA. What is a controlled experiment? What are Variables…
