P4/5 enjoyed a science lesson Miss. Craig looking at the best insulating materials.

We had ice cubes and compared the rate they melted at.

  1. Uncovered ice

  2. Newspaper

  3. Tinfoil

  4. Cotton wool

  5. Kitchen roll

  6. Tissue paper

  7. Bubble Wrap

We discovered the best insulator was the cotton wool as the ice melted the slowest. The worst insulator was leaving the ice uncovered.
