Mittens and Insulation

Purpose : To see which mitten is a better insulator? Does layers keep us warm?

We placed a ziploc bag containing one ice cube in a mitten and set it aside

In another mitten we tucked the other pair of mitten inside along with the  ziploc containing one ice cube

We then set the ice mittens aside for a few hours. We wanted to see if the ice dissolved or not.

We discovered that the mitten that had more layers kept the ice from melting, and the ice in the mitten without layers melt at a faster rate .

Conclusion: Layers are better insulation during the cold season.
