    Lab format:
    Title: Super Thermos

    Background: Heat travels through three ways. Conduction, radiation and convection. For this particular lab you are using conduction. In this lab we measured the heat reduction of water when covered at the top and with a reflective sheet of aluminum on the cup and whatever else you want to add.


    Purpose: Experiment different ways on how to keep the water inside the cup to stay as hot as possible for as long as possible.

    Materials:

    • styrofoam cup
    • aluminum foil
    • loggerpro (on computer)
    • whatever you want to use to keep the water hot

    Procedure:

    1. measure the temperature of the room by leaving the temperature probe out in the open
    2. heat up water
    3. pour water in the cup
    4. put temperature probe in water
    5. cover the cup as much as you can in what you think will keep it hot
    6. time for 10 minutes
    7. subtract room temperature because when the water goes down, it's not gonna go to 0, its only gonna get to the room temperature

    Data:


    What way worked best to keep the water hot?
