Introduction In this experiment‚ we will be figuring out how much does 80 degree celsius water reduce in temperature in 15 minutes‚ using different materials to insulate the heat. The five materials that will be tested are: Aluminium foil‚ plastic wrap‚ newspaper‚ felt‚ and bubble wrap. Aluminium foil is a reflective material; this means that it bounces the thermal energy back to the foiled object. It also absorbs the heat. Not only does it stop heat loss‚ but Aluminium foil is also useful for
