Nadeeem K AIM: To investigate the effect of insulators on the rate of cooling. Introduction: I will be investigating the rate of cooling, by using various numbers of layers of insulators round a beaker of hot water. The science which effect my investigation are as follows: Conduction is a transfer of heat energy through a substance from the hotter region to the cooler region without any movement of the substance itself. As the substance is heated, free electrons spread through the substance bumping into other electrons and passing on Kinetic energy. Gradually energy is transferred along the substance. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through waves. Hot objects emit mainly infrared radiation which can pass through a vacuum i.e. No medium is needed for its transfer. How much radiation is given out or taken in by an object depends on its surface In this experiment I could have many variables....
