Insulation Experiment Worksheet

This document outlines an experiment to test different types of insulation. The independent variable is the type of insulation material, the dependent variable is the temperature change over time, and control variables include the size and contents of the flasks. The method involves measuring the temperature of flasks with different insulation materials over 12 minutes. Results will show the temperature change for each material over time. The conclusion will evaluate which material proved to be the best insulation based on maintaining or increasing temperature.
