Virtual lab: Thermal insulation

Aim: find which material is the best thermal insulator, by measuring how quickly hot water cools. Press the button to carry out each step of the method.

Follow the method one step at a time, or use the buttons above to finish it for you.

    Results

    Temperature drop = starting temperature − temperature after 10 minutes.
