GCSE Coursework Investigation: What Factors Affect The Cooling Of A Liquid PLAN Variables * Amount of liquid * Temperature of surroundings * Shape of container * Material of container * Colour of container * Size of container * Surface area of container * Temperature of liquid to start * Type of liquid * Density of liquid * Surface area : Volume of liquid * Surface container is on * Thickness of container * Lid or not * Insulation * Time These are the variables that I could choose to focus on. I have chosen to focus and adapt on the idea of insulation. Prediction I predict that the more insulation (layers) there is, the smaller the reduction in heat. I think this because when the outside air tries to touch the container to cool it, it will be stopped by the insulation, so it will take longer to cool. Also, when heat tries to escape from the container, it will go into the first layer of insulation, which will then absorb the...
