4 Winds

We had another 4 Winds class today.  The students learned about heat transfer and how different animals, humans included, insulate themselves in an effort to protect themselves from the cold.  The students measured the temperature of water in a small container, which was placed inside various insulating materials.  The water was then placed outside in the snow for a few minutes.  When the containers were taken back inside the water temperature was measured again.  We will look closely at our data tomorrow in a scientist meeting and follow up with some additional scientific inquiries.
