Team project idea.

In class we created a group for the team project. We spent our class time looking through one of the web sites given to us for ideas.

After bouncing idea back and forth for a while we found and experiment called a good sock. The experiment is about finding what cloth can best insulate a bottle of water. We’ve taken that idea and changed it a little bit. We want to do a similar experiment using different types of cloth that you would normally find around your own house. We have not specified what cloth we will be using yet but we are going to use those cloths in our experiment to see what types can keep a higher temperature of the hot water inside of bottles.

Our brief outline.

Team Project outline

1. Title:
2. Purpose: To find out what fabrics make better insulation.
3. Background: discovering what household fabrics can be best used as insulation.
4. Procedure:
   1. Set up: 4 water bottles. 3 different socks. Thermometer. Hot water. Timer
   2. Wrap 3 different socks around 3 of the water bottles
   3. Pour hot water into water bottles and then use the thermometer to find how hot it is.
   4. A few minutes later check the temperature again. (repeat a few times)
   5. Determine what fabrics held the heat in the bottles the longest.
   6. Data:
   7. Analysis:
