If I were to repeat this experiment, I might choose to test notebook paper, toilet tissue, jean material, and an aluminum pie pan. I predict that the jean material would be the best insulators. Insulators prevent heat energy transfer. Materials that are excellent insulators will absorb heat slower than materials that are not good conductors. Examples of suitable insulators include dry cotton, Styrofoam, fiberglass, wool, and other nonmetals. The jean material is the thickest material and it is also a nonmetal.
