The document describes an experiment to test the insulating properties of different materials by measuring how quickly hot water cools when wrapped in tin foil, a plastic bag, newspaper, or a woolen sock. The student hypothesized that the woolen sock would keep the water warmest. They recorded the temperature of the water wrapped in each material after 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, finding a 4 degree Celsius difference between the best and worst insulators after 30 minutes. Their results supported the hypothesis, with the woolen sock keeping the water warmest and newspaper the coolest.
