CSEF · 2012
Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine which insulation material is the most efficient using fiberglass, foam, wood shavings, llama wool and cotton. My hypothesis was that llama wool…
CSEF · 2012
Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The goal of my project was to learn what everyday material is the best thermal insulator. My hypothesis was that the hay would insulate the best because hay has good climate…
CSEF · 2012
Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
