Newton’s Amusement Land introduces the types of heat transfer including conduction, convection, and radiation. In this experiment I will be using conduction as the pot will be in direct contact with the flame and the water will be heated through touching the heated surface. The heat will escape from my glass because the water it meets air around it and is attempting to reach equilibrium. By creating insulation, the heat can be contained longer due to the “small air spaces” (Tillery, Enger, & Ross, 2019, p.86). The materials used in this experiment include four identical glasses, a tea kettle, four rubber bands, a thermometer, water, and the insulators tinfoil, parchment paper, snack bag, and a washcloth. Animals in colder habitats are designed to retain heat by having a thick layer of blubber. I predict that the washcloth will minimize the...
