Transforms Everyday Plastic Into A Heat- Retaining Hero
Have You Ever Wondered If A P
lain Plastic Milk Container Can Do Something Other Than Store Your Breakfast Drink? In This Project, We Investigate The Physics Of Heat Insulation By Converting A Typical Milk Jug Into A Heat-Retention Measuring Device. Using Easy-To-Find Materials And Creative Experimentation, We Find Out How Well A Milk Jug Insulates — And What That Can Help Us Understand About Thermal Energy Transfer. By Monitoring Changes In Temperature Over A Period Of Time, We Discover Where The Heat Escapes And How Materials Hold On To It

Features and specifications:
                                    . Accessible & Low-Cost:
Uses affordable, everyday materials —                                           making science exploration possible for all students.

                                 . Creative Problem-Solving: Challenges students to think                                                        innovatively by turning a discarded item into a scientific tool.

                                 . Customizable Experiment: Can be adapted to test different                                                  materials inside or outside the jug (e.g. foil, cotton, bubble wrap).
