Question:

how we can check temperature inside the house?

i am doing a science fair project. topic is vemiculite insulation. so i make a small house and i insulate vermiculite in attics. my control is to check temperature inside the house. how i can do that ?

Answer:

TO get a really good answer, your control has to be pretty good. If it is fair weather, i.e. 50's, open all the windows, and then shut all the windows, and do that to the small house. Measure each one of them after they have sat without any activity for 30 minutes. Try this method and see if it works or if you see any difference. One thing will be the amount of insulation. If you overstuff the small house, your reading will be skewed in favor of the small house. Good project.
I honestly don't think you'll be able to do that, as the ambient Temperature outside the Little House will foul the results.After all, you are going to make a small house and put it into a larger one.
