Principle
The heat conduction from a body to the environment can be reduced by insulating materials. The heat conduction happens by passing on the movements of the molecule, so that high-density materials usually conduct the heat better, i.e. are poor insulating materials.
Benefits
- Particularly understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life etc.) including protocol questions
- Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets
- Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP
- Increase of media competence
Tasks
The students compare the cooling of water in a simple beaker and in an insulated calorimeter.
Learning objectives
The students should observe that the cooling process of hot water can be slowed down by insulation.
