What, specifically, would you like students to learn from this experiment? Did you achieve this goal when you engaged in the experiment?
I would like students to learn about insulation and more importantly how that insulation can help keep a body warm in cold weather situations. It is important for the student to understand that every piece of science can solve practical problems. It is important for students to realize this.
I accomplished this because I looked at it from a football fan stand point. My parents and many of their closest friends are Buffalo Bills season ticket holders. It is important for them to be able to keep themselves warm for extended periods of time because of the cold temperatures that plague many of the home games. Therefore, I would like my students to realize that there are easy ways to test specific things so that they give you the most practical use. Therefore, science can solve the simplest of problems that you or society may have.
I would love to do this experiment. I can't stand cold weather. You got a great Idea! Wish you all the best!!
ReplyDeleteWhat clothing did you find to be the warmest?
ReplyDeleteHow would you incorporate this experiment in with your lesson? Would you have students bring in what they think is the best insulator and then test their hypothesis?
ReplyDeleteI would prefer woolen jacket, but that won't fit to all type of dressing. Therefore I would prefer Under Armour.
