Which common household materials make the BEST heat insulator - JesusOchoa - 01-16-2020 in school, we are doing a project on heat insulatorsWithin a paper house model, our teacher will place a beaker of HOT waterUsing common materials, we need to keep the water in the beaker as hot as possibleThe water that stays hot the longest will win the competition/projectI REALLY WANT TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!! So far, I only know that i should use bubble wrapWhat else should i use? THANKS SO MUCH It is much appreciated.there is a reason that disposable coffee cups are made of styrofoam a layer of styrofoam with aluminum foil on the heat side (to contain radiant heat) is your best bet the thicker the insulation (styrofoam), the better the containmentOther related question
