5 White Week 6 (science)

5 White have had a great penultimate week of term 1. As always 5 White have been a pleasure to teach having fun whilst gaining at all times.

This week in science we have conducted an experiment to determine which materials retained the most heat.
We made our initial predictions and planned a fair test in order to gather the most reliable data.

Once we planned our experiment we gathered our data by measuring the heat of potatoes wrapped in foil, cotton wool and newspaper every 20 minutes Once we recorded our data we displayed our findings in the form of a line graph. Using the knowledge we have gained in maths and basic skills.

It was a pleasure to see 5 White so engaged with this task and the work produced was excellent.

Well done

I hope you all have a lovely weekend I can’t wait for our final week.

Please remember your homework and reading this week.

    I can’t find the homework blog .

    What variable did we change during our experiment?
    We changed the material.
    What did we keep the same?
    The potato and the size of the potato stayed the same.
    What is the difference between a thermal insulator and a thermal conductor?
    A thermal insulator is a material that is a good conductor of thermal energy. Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators

    Science questions

    1. What is a variables did we change during our experiment?
    A variable that we changed in our experiment was the material

    What did we keep the same?
    We kept the amount of time the same when we cooked the potatoes. We also kept the size of the potatoes the same.
    The difference between a thermal insulators and thermal conductor are, that thermal insulators don’t let heat pass it but thermal conductors don’t trap heat inside the object.

  5. Nihit N.

    Science questions:
    1. The variables that we changed were the type of insulator and the time we tested them all.
    2. The variables that we kept the same were the temperature the potatoes were boiled at, the time they were boiled, where they were boiled and where the insulators were tested.
    3. The difference between a thermal insulator and a thermal conducted is that a thermal insulator stops heat from transferring, a thermal conductor allows heat to transfer.

    What is a variables did we change during our experiment?
    We changed the what the potato was wrapped in.
    What did we keep the same?
    We kept the temperature and the time between when we checked the warmness.
    What is the difference between a thermal insulator and a thermal conductor?
    Thermal insulators are when heat doesn’t pass through easily and a thermal conductor is when heat passes through really easily.

    science question:
    1)we changed different materials such as: cotton , potato , foil , newspaper.
    2)we kept the cotton and potato the same.
    3)A thermal conductor is is a good conductor such as a radiator , foil inside clothes , oven.

  8. Aysha R.

    What is a variables did we change during our experiment? We changed the materials which is a independent variable.
    What did we keep the same? We kept how long we put the thi ng we used to see the warmness and each table got their turn every 20 minutes.
    What is the difference between a thermal insulator and a thermal conductor?

    Thermal conductors are materials that transfer thermal energy easily. Thermal insulators are materials that do not transfer thermal energy easily.
