. A company has made a new material called ‘Wellwarm’. They want to use ‘Wellwarm’ to make coats. (a) A scientist tested ‘Wellwarm’ to see how well it insulated a beaker of hot water. She tested ‘Wellwarm’ and three other materials as shown below. She wrapped each beaker in a different material. She recorded the temperature at the start and 20 minutes later. (i) What was the independent variable that the scientist changed? (ii) What was the dependent variable that the scientist measured during the investigation?

Solution

(a) (i) The independent variable that the scientist changed was the type of material used to insulate the beaker. (ii) The dependent variable that the scientist measured during the investigation was the temperature of the water in the beaker.

(b) (i) Based on the results, 'Wellwarm' is most likely material B as it retained the most heat after 20 minutes. (ii) The evidence in the results table shows that the water wrapped in material B had the highest temperature after 20 minutes, indicating that it was the best insulator.

(c) Two other variables that should be controlled to make this a fair test are:

  1. The temperature of the cold room should be kept constant.
  2. The amount of time the person spends in the cold room wearing each coat should be the same.

(d) One thing the scientists should do to make sure the person testing the coats is safe is to monitor the person's body temperature and make sure it doesn't drop too low.

(e) One advantage of using a temperature sensor and data logger instead of a thermometer in this experiment is that it can provide more accurate and continuous readings over time.
