one that can be answered by designing and conducting an experiment.
Which material is the best insulator experiment?
A heat or thermal insulator works best when there is a way to trap air in between spaces. Some of the best ones that you can find around the house like this are
Styrofoam
(those work well because they are so light for all the space it takes up… a lot of air spaces in between the foam) and goose down.
How do you form a hypothesis?
- Collect as many observations about a topic or problem as you can.
- Evaluate these observations and look for possible causes of the problem.
- Create a list of possible explanations that you might want to explore.
