1. Insulation A First Grade STEM Project

2. What is Insulation?

3. Problem: Which material will be the best insulator? -Felt -Packing peanuts -Cardboard -Cotton balls

4. Hypothesis: (Type your prediction on the Notability App.)

5. Experiment: Draw the glove your group will create with your assigned material. Construct your group’s glove. Test each glove by inserting a hand and thermometer for 5 minutes. Decide as a class which material is the best insulator. (Will the best insulator be the one with the highest or lowest temperature?) Don’t forget to take pictures during the experiment!

6. Drawing Conclusions: Which material was the best insulator? Why do you think so?
