Do You Feel Hot or Cold?

Science Experiment in Mrs. Hardman’s 2nd Grade Class

Mrs. Hardman’s 2nd Grade Class tried a fun science experiment.  In this lesson, students were considering the insulating and conducting properties of different materials. Students tested different materials (cloth socks, foil and styrofoam) to determine which would make the best oven mitts. They made mittens out of socks, foil and used the styrofoam cups to pick up hot and cold water bottles. They had to determine if they could feel the heat (or cold) through each kind of material.
