Will varying temperatures affect the amount of rust on a penny, nail, needle and paper clip when submerged in different liquid environments?or this project.Which material conserves heat best, paper, cotton, or aluminum foil?
The first project could become very complicated very fast, but I like the secod one as it can be easily built and demonstratedSuppose you were to make a small house with four walls, each wall made of different material; paper, cotton, foil, and maybe something else, so it forms a small boxMake the sides about eight or ten inches each and about eight inches highInside this box place a light bulb, which would then become your heat sourceYou could also put a roof over the box to shield the lightbulbTurn the bulb on to start generating heat inside the boxThen with an infrared thermometer (you point the sensor towards the source and it remotely takes the temperature) you could monitor the temperature rise of each of the outside wall surfaces to determine which was losing heat the fastestEasy to build, easy to demonstrate.
