January 7, 2015 Forestville Science and Innovation Lab Update: To celebrate the snow - and the role of engineers in protecting us from it - we tested out various types of insulation. Students prepared three test tubes each to test different kinds of household goods as insulators (such as cotton balls, felt, sand paper, tape, paper towels, tissues, paper streamers, and aluminum foil). Each test tube was filled with boiling water and placed into a bin with snow. We tested the temperature of each test tube and compared it to some that had no insulation at all. They also learned that it is important to stay dry to keep warm!
