What is a heat insulator

Some people say that heat transfer always occurs from “where it is to where it isn’t.” What does this really mean?

Which is better at slowing down the rate of heat transfer

What did the wool sock slow down?

Why did we include a can with no wrapping in the data set?

Materials that can decrease the rate of energy transfer are called insulators.

What properties might the wool sock and paper towel have in common that make them good insulators?

Based on our results, which materials can be called insulators?
