... Why Penguins Huddle I am planning an experiment to find out why penguins huddle I believe penguins huddle to keep warm using combined body heat. The heat is given to other penguins through radiation. This heat which is given out is then given back once the cold penguin is heated up this keeps them warm. To see if I am correct I will conduct an experiment. This experiment will help me find out if penguins huddle. I will need to show conduction this is when the heat energy passes through the walls of the tank by making the particles vibrate and this causes them to make the particles next to them vibrate. As the energy passes from atom to atom. As a result the heat passes through the tank and into the air surrounding the tank. This is considered the most important type of heat transfer in solids.
