Plan. In this experiment I will be investigating and comparing the temperature of a single animal, and an animal huddled into a pack. I will be recording the temperature of the animal in the middle. These animals will be symbolised as test tubes. Animals need to stay warm because enzymes work best at 37 degrees Celsius. If the enzymes do not work, the animal will die of hypothermia. Safety Be careful with hot water and test tubes.

My scientific knowledge tells me that this is due to convection, conduction and radiation in which the outer animals give of. Heat radiation is...
