Penguin home 03/09/17

Summary:
This week in class we learned about insulation. Insulation is when heat cannot pass through an object an example of an insulator is styrophone. A conductor is a material that heat can easily pass through changing the objects temperature, an example of a conductor is iron. Insulators help keep things warm and keeps things cold.

 Backward looking, I knew a bit about insulators, though it was not much. I had never really thought about researching the topic. I thought this would be a great experience to learn about insulators this year.

Inward looking, I feel like I worked really hard on the project and put a lot of effort into making it. I like the window on the house so that we can check up on the penguin and see how much it has lost. I didn't like the crack that was in the Styrofoam.

Outward looking, I would give our project an A-. I would give it this grade because we did the second best in the entire class. I think this was do to our teamwork and how we worked good together.

Forward looking, if I could do this project over again the first thing I would do is make thicker Styrofoam and not crack it. I would also put less cotton balls it the project. I would also make the whole project smaller.
