Define a problem
Three goals of this project are
1: to increase our knowledge in thermodynamics
2:to find a more reasonable and Eco-efficient way to insulate
3: to learn new software like logger pro

Generate concepts
- Styrofoam
- wood
- cardboard
- pool noodle
Develop a solution
Construct and Test Prototype
Construction (nothing on weebly)
Evaluate the solution
My experience with logger pro was pretty good when we used it to measure the temperature, we didn't have any problems
I don't feel too good about thermodynamics, in relation to solving it. Its very tricky to me.
Our testing results were pretty good too, not much heat was lost in the experiment we did making it efficient
We used the wrong area in our calculations so we had to do them all over again
I've learned how to use logger pro to record the temperature data. I also learned how to make insulation out of recyclable items

Present the solution
This is our insulation in the testing process (dont mind silas please)😂
This is the insulation after the cardboard was glued to the wood
This is the start of the first test we took when we had to keep all the heat in the box
Conclusion
We could have used materials with a higher R value that would have increased the efficiency of the experiment.
Other teams Qnet could have been better for many reasons, but one big reason is that their insulation could have better R valve then the one we used. Also theirs could have had a better seal to the box letting less heat out.
