https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9 How do we know the cover material makes a difference? en-us 2017-04-06 14:21:22 UTC 2025-11-06 09:15:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155822 Looking at the spreadsheet with all of our data on it, it shows that the controlled group had a more drastic change in temperature loss than other groups with covers. The controlled group had -2.02 as an average Celsius per minute while other groups like Styrofoam had -1.35. Little in numbers but big difference. ]]> 2017-04-06 14:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155822 https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155840 The cover's type of material makes a difference by how the water reacts. From our experiment when we had no cover the rate of the heat was greater from the bubble wrap cover (No cover -2,02, Bubble wrap -1.31) This definitely shows that a cover does matter.

Aluminum foil and bubble wrap had the highest rate of change with -1.62 per minute. The lowest was regular bubble wrap with a rate of change of -1.31 per minute. ]]> 2017-04-06 14:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155867 https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155890 2017-04-06 14:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155890 https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155894 The cover did effect the change in temperature. The control group's temperature decreased a total of 2.02 degrees per minute on average, while the bubble wrap went down an average of 1.31 degrees per minute, which is less. This same affect was also seen with other covers, such as aluminum foil, which decreased 1.49 degrees per minute, which is also a different result.]]> 2017-04-06 14:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155894 https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165155903 The different covers on the beakers did affect the loss of heat in the water. You can see this difference in the data. The data shows that the control group, the group with no cover had the highest negative rate of change at -2.02 degrees Celsius per Minute. The lowest negative rate of change was the bubble wrap group which had a -1.31 degrees Celsius per minute. This is a significant difference it is almost 1 degree change. The second highest rate of change is the group with aluminum foil and bubble wrap with a -1.62 degrees Celsius per Minute. This definitely shows a difference that the covers make on the loss of heat in water

This shows that adding a lid traps heat because even the lids worst trial was .4/m degrees better than the controlled group. The best trial being .7/m better.]]> 2017-04-06 14:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165156010 https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165156531 We think that the cover does make a difference. The data suggests that having a cover will hold heat in better than not having a cover. Not having a cover had a negative rate of change of -2.02. We used 6 beakers that had covers, all of the covers a different material. The material that held in the heat the best was bubble wrap that had a negative rate of change of -1.31. other materials ]]> 2017-04-06 14:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lplante1/gzcsfbbeili9/wish/165156531
