This project is a simple demonstration of heat transfer and the advantages of insulation. Huddling next to each other conserves body heat because the bodies are the same temperature and one acts as an insulator for the next. Heat moves from warmer to colder areas, so the bottles that are touching will lose heat more slowly than those that are separated.

Since you didn't finish setting up all the bottles and measuring the change in temperatures with time, just write up what you did do and explain what would have happened.

Here's a good reference for how heat transfer works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

Good luck!
