Thicker fabrics such as wool and polyester will keep you warmer and are more typically used in jackets than thinner material such as silk or satin. If you need a topic for a science fair project, you could experiment with different types of fabric and how warm they get. Which Is the Hottest?Choose four different types of fabric to compare for heat absorbency. Examples of fabric that could be used include silk, satin, velvet, wool and cotton. Find a sunny location to conduct the experiment. Lay a square of each fabric type on the ground and wrap a thermometer in the fabric. Record the temperature at the beginning of the trial for Moncler Men down grey Jacket each fabric and then observe the thermometers again after twenty minutes. Determine whether the fabric type affected the temperature.What Keeps Your Drink Cool?Fill three glasses with ice water and tightly wrap each with a different type of fabric.

Draw a conclusion as to why the water warmed at different rates.Which Fabric Dries First?Cut four squares of fabric that are equal in size but made of different material.
