For our final project in this class, Rebecca, Bryan and myself thought of a few different ideas. At first, we were wondering which topics we could cover in our project and how to relate that topic to the class. It did not take long to come up with the idea of our project dealing with heat and insulation. It was one of the first ideas we had, and we instantly knew we would probably end up using this idea for our project.

Overall, the project is about temperature and heating. We want to figure out which material (cotton, wool, plastic, or aluminum) would keep liquids the warmest after ten minutes. We will use coffee cups to hold the hot liquids in, since we figured that would work the best rather than glass or plastic. This project will relate to the outside world because it will teach us which material works best for insulation. This is also important because the winter is near, and I want to make sure I keep my hot chocolate as hot as I can when I’m outside.
