Insulating materials Science coursework Candidate name: Anisah Habib Candidate number: 4042 Introduction: For this piece of science coursework I will be investigating what materials are best as insulators and what ones are worst. The materials I have chosen to use for this experiment are bubble wrap, foil and tissue paper. I will test all these to see which one would be the bet insulator when I pour water in a hot can as the insulator would be wrapped around the can therefore I will check the temperature every so often to find out which is the best insulator. Aim: my aim is to find out if different types of insulating materials can prevent heat loss from a tin can of water. Prediction: I predict that bubble wrap would be the best insulator on the can. Because I think the material will be good at trapping the heat molecules and not letting them escape therefore the can...
