We conducted an experiment in P2b. We used paper towels, cotton wool and tin foil to try to stop an ice cube melting. We each had an ice cube that we had to try to keep whole!
We tested different insulators. We each made a hypothesis about which material we thought would be the best insulator.
We wrapped up our ice cubes to stop them melting. Different people tried different insulators.
We wrote about our experiment. We found out that cotton wool was the best insulator. Tin foil was not a very good insulator. The paper towel was a bit better than the tin foil but not as good an insulator as the cotton wool.
