Thursday, NOV 13

We did not have class on Tuesday, November 11, because it was Vertern's day holiday. Class was pretty fun today minus our technical difficulties. We were measuing temperatures of water that had different types of insulators around them. On one glass bottle, we put warm water in it and measured the temperature... In a similar glass bottle, we put warm water in it and put a wool sock around it and measured the temperature. A few minutes later, we checked the temperature as well and figured out which bottle had the warmest temperature to determine if a wool sock is a good insulator or not. Then, we used a cotton sock and a wet cotten sock around the glass bottles with warm water. It was interesting to see which socks kept the temperature the warmest and which ones did not. I can see how this experiment would be a good learning tool to use in the classroom because students are visibly able to see the different in different insulators and which ones are the best.
