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. My maximum temp is 113.1. It was my maximum temp because the water was hot and we just put it in the freezing water.
2.MY Min was 55.3. It is surprising that our min is only .1 degrees lower than our range.
3.Our range was 55.4. It is surprising that our range was only .1 degrees higher than our min.
4. We used cotton, foil, foam, and niolin.We used these metrials because we thought the metrials would be a good insulator.
5.We didn't chose the paper because we thought it would be a good insulator because it was so thin. I wanted to do the paper but my group wouldn't agree.
6. We had one huge blip but that was because one person tripped on the cord and yanked it. The blip was our biggest blip.
7. A insulator is a poor conductor of heat. The best is probably the foam.
