A hot flask of tea introduces the concept of thermal insulation leading to a discussion of how we and other animals keep warm or cool. Children plan and carry out an investigation on keeping water warm. Which wrapping is the best insulator?

Suitable for Year 4 pupils.

Great ideas for a lesson on insulation. Helpful resources included. I really like some of the experiences it suggests for the children to go through so they can understand insulators.
