We did not have class on Tuesday due to Veteran's day, so today was our first day back in class since Thursday, November 6th. In today's class time, we started over on the lab that we started last week Thursday. It was called "A Good Soxk." The main objectives for the lab were to :
- Learn how to better use and understand the Logpro Computer Device
-Determine change in temperature
- Compare the insulating properties of cotton and wool.
My group found that the bottle with the wool sock on changed less in temperature than the bottle with no sock on it. The bottle with the cotton sock on it changed less in temperature than the bottle covered with the wet cotton sock. We found that overall, the wool sock is a better insulator than the cotton sock, because it slowed down the transfer of heat better.
We can apply this lab to real life situations such as should you wear wet clothing in cold weather. The answer to this is no! You shouldn't wear wet clothing in cold weater because you will get colder faster! Overall, it was an informative lab because I learned how to run the logpro computer device better!
