Which materials keep us warm? - Results table

The investigation explored the thermal insulation properties of various materials by observing how long they can keep a bottle of water warm. The results table would have documented the duration each material was able to maintain the temperature of the water, providing insight into which material has the best insulating effect. The purpose of the study was to determine which material would keep us warmer for an extended period of time, effectively retaining heat and slowing down the rate of cooling.

The materials tested are commonly found in our environment and are referred to by their everyday names. The experiment aimed to identify which of these materials are good at insulating and could therefore be used to keep us warm. By covering a bottle of water with different materials and measuring how long the warmth is retained, the study sought to conclude which materials have the best thermal properties for insulation. The results would be particularly useful in applications such as clothing, bedding, and building materials, where warmth retention is crucial.
