This is the energy transfer sheet.

Answer the following reflection/synthesis questions:

1. What was your maximum temperature (use your Data Chart, not the picture)?
2. What was your minimum temperature (use your Data Chart, not the picture)?
3. What is your range?  If you had any penalties or gifts, include those in your total.
4. What materials did you use in your insulated bottle (type them in order from your first layer, second layer, and third layer.)?  Why did you choose the materials that you did?
5. What are some materials that you didn't choose?  Why didn't you choose them?
6. Explain any blips on your graph (if you have them).  Why do you think it did that?
7. Is an insulator a good or a poor conductor of heat energy?  This is an important question, so really think before you answer it!

1. The maximum was 113.4 degrees Fahrenheit
2. The minimum was 44.4 degrees Fahrenheit
3. The range  was 69.0 degrees Fahrenheit
4. My group put Aluminum Foil,Foam,Wax Paper, and Bubble Wrap we chose those the were some of the best insulators.
5. We didn't choose Polyester,Carpet Insulation, Fur,Wool,and Nylon because they were all out.
6. Yes there is  because I think we bumped it.
7. An insulator is a poor conductor.

1. The heat from the water went up the rod and made the butter slide down.
2. The experiment today and yesterday both had water and at least one thermometer. The differences in the experiments were one was hot all the time and something was melting down the stick
3. I was pretty close,I only mixed up Aluminum and Brass and the Bamboo and Plastic.
4. I think the Copper and Aluminum are the best conductors. they are the best because the butter melted the fastest.
5. Plastic and Bamboo were bad.
6. I think it is not because the water was heated other wise it would be cold.
7. It does matter because then you know not to touch a good conductor.

1. The cold water dropped temperature and then it started to level. The warm water did the same thing as the cold water.
2. Water on the graph slowly went down and the hot water ended up being colder than the cold water.
3. The hot and cold temperatures crossed and cold was hotter than hot.
4. The water in the cup mixed with the cold water and got cold
5. The water got through the microscopic holes.
6. The heat energy moved from side to side and went out

1.Energy is all over Westgate. It is also outside at the playground and every where else.
2.I think light and motion energy is easy to notice. Chemical and Elastic energy are hard to notice
3.Yes their is things that have more than one form of energy. The chemical,heat,and light energy.
4. Energy is important because wouldn't have light or anything else.
