Insulated Bottles

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. Our Maximum was 113.4. At First we thought it would stay this way almost the whole time but then it started to drop.
2. Our Minimum was 72.1. We thought it would've dropped even lower because there where dramatic changes.
3.Our range was 41.3. I got this by subtracting our maximum by our minimum.
4. We used aluminum foil, wax paper, foam, and bubble wrap. We used aluminum foil, wax paper, and bubble wrap because we wanted to use things that hadn't been tested in the first round. We choose the foam because it was the best one in the draft.
5. We didn't choose polyester because the water can easily soak through it. We also didn't choose paper because sometimes when you spill water on paper it breaks.
6. Yes we had lots of blips. I think it was because we barely ever kept the bottle still and we also moved the temperature probe.
7. A insulator is a poor counducter because it dose not let heat travel through an item. An insulator is a bad counducter and a conductor is a bad insulator.
