Thermal conductors and thermal insulators
We carried out experiments to test thermal conductors and thermal insulators. We swapped around and tested both. First of all, one group tested goose fat as an insulator. We placed one finger in cold water with no goose fat, then we placed another finger in cold water which was insulated. We all agreed that the goose fat kept our finger the warmest!
Another group tested thermal conductors using different spoons. We made predictions about which spoon would be the best conductor in hot water. We tested and predictions and discovered the metal spoon was the best conductor of heat.
