Scientific Investigations - Insulation Aims: The aim of the investigation is to discover which variable prevents the least amount of heat loss through convection, conduction, radiation and possibly evaporation. Another aim of the experiment is to find the best insulator out of the materials given. Background Information: In this investigation I will be using copper beakers to hold a volume of 100cm3. I will measure the temperature loss of each different beakers, I will test them with 3 different insulators. I could use many different insulators such as: cotton wool, tin foil, polystyrene, plastic, bubble wrap, paper and rubber. However I have chosen three to use, these are: cotton wool, tin foil, bubble wrap. I will also have to do one experiment with nothing; this is because I will need to compare my results. The factors which will effect the rate of heat transfer are: The temperature of the room, The amount of water in beaker, The...
