After learning about how spacesuits keep astronauts alive, we decided to focus on the insulating nature of spacesuits and spacecrafts. The students learned about heat transfer, then they designed insulated space capsules and measured the heat lost from hot water over a 30-minute period. We will use this data in maths class to plot line graphs and to compare the efficiency of our space capsules against our control (a regular paper cup).
