Science Week

As part of 'Science Week' in school we have been looking at different materials, their uses and properties. our investigation was to find which material kept hot water warmest for longer. We used plastic cups covered in foil, cotton wool, bubble wrap and one left uncovered. We predicted which one would work best. We then used thermometers to measure the temperature every 5 minutes for 40 minutes. We found out that foil was the best at keeping the water warm and the cup without the cover was the coldest. The children recorded the findings on investigation sheets.
