Winter Warmth
CSEF · 2016 Materials Science (Junior Division Only)
Overview
Objectives/Goals The objective was to find which fabric provides the best insulation. Results Six equal cups of ice, six different kinds of fabric, wet measuring cup for measuring the melted water, clock for timed measuring. Conclusions/Discussion measurements were taken every 30min from the ice cups with the different fabrics wrapped around each cup. over a 12 hour period.
Summary statement
I insulated ice with different fabric and the cup with the most ice was found to be the best "warmest" fabric
Help received
None, I chose my project, and supplies. My projects advisors held meetings for progress reviews for deadlines.
