Aim
The aim of this investigation is to find the effect of size on temperature
loss in warm-blooded animals. I am going to investigate the relationship
between objects and the rate at which they loose heat. We will be using
beakers as containers to represent animals in this investigation.
Introduction
Warm-blooded animals have the ability to achieve homeostasis. One of the
properties of homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant temperature
irrespective of their environment.

investigation.
Extensions:
1. I could introduce more beakers of different sizes.
2. I could use insulation around the entire beaker. This would cut out
conduction and some radiation.
3. I could have altered the shape of the containers and use different
materials, which inevitably will have different properties with regard to
heat loss.
