For the heat transfer experiment, I chose tin foil, plastic wrap, a cotton t-shirt, and a ziploc bag. I hypothesized that the tin foil would hold in the most heat. After heatingt my water on the stove and leaving it for 30 minutes, the temperature was still too hot to measure a difference. I let it sit for another 20 minutes. The mug with the tin foil over it did stay the hottest. If I were to use a different material, I would have used styrofoam. I had a piece, but it would not fit over the mug all of the way.
