Hypothesis:
We think that the fiberglass material is the most efficient insulator.
(Professor Sunny’s note: Stephen and Christopher built a
model house that they could test the three different insulation
materials in.)
Conclusion:
We found out that our hypothesis was proven to be incorrect. It
was a tie between the Styrofoam and foam materials. The structure
of the foams was denser than the fiberglass materials. We learned
that the denser a material is, the better that it insulates.
