Hi,

Here are some sites that may be helpful:

http://www.ilo.org/encyclopaedia/?doc&nd=857100116&nh=0

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/g ... n01401.htm

An idea for your project may be to wrap warm or hot objects such as a cups of heated water (be careful not to burn yourself!) in different types of fabric and measure the temperature change with a thermometer.

Try to make sure the object whose temperature you're measuring is constant and try to do it all at the same time, since temperature of the enviroment is not constant over time, or you can do the expirment in a place where temperature is constant, like a refridgerator.

I hope i have been of help. :D

Here is another site that breaks it down well.

This measurement falls under the subject of calorimetry, and could be very interesting. The retention of heat is quite a hot topic, ever here of Global Warming?

I helped a student last year that took 3rd place in his science fair with this topic.
