#[[Measure]] 100ml of hot [[water]] (around 50°C) using a [[Measuring Cylinder|measuring cylinder]].#Fill a can with hot [[water]] (above 80°C).#Place a [[thermometer]] in the [[water]] and wait until the [[temperature]] reaches 80°C40°C. #Begin a [[stopwatch]] when the [[temperature]] is 80°C 40°C then [[Reading|read]] the [[temperature]] every 30 seconds for 5 minutes.
#Repeat steps 1-3 with a can covered each type of [[Thermal Insulator|insulating material]].
#Plot a [[graph]] with [[temperature]] on the [[y-axis]] and [[time]] on the [[x-axis]] plotting the [[results]] for each [[Thermal Insulator|insulating material]] on the same [[graph]].
: Place a lid over the cans to reduce the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy]] lost to the [[air]] by [[evaporation]].
: Complete the experiments with different [[Thermal Insulator|insulators]] simultaneously so that a change in the [[temperature]] of the [[laboratory]] does not affect the [[results]].
: Place the [[Measuring Cylinder|measuring cylinder]] on a flat, level surface to get an [[accurate]] [[reading]] of the [[Volume (Space)|volume]] of [[water]].
