Introduction. We are testing different types of insulation to see which is the best at keeping in the heat from hot water. When warm particles touch with particle that are cooler than itself the particles try to pass through it, this can be slowed by materials that are bad conductors of heat, this prevents the warm air getting through easier (it doesn't absorb it as well as other materials) than if it had a good conductor of heat. A good conductor of heat absorbs the heat better allowing it to pass through with ease. We are going to take readings every 30 seconds for five minuets to get our results, we chose 30 seconds because you can get the slight decreases in time between each reading however we will not be repeating the tests.
