Abstract (The purpose of this experiment is to...) After the lab we looked for the best results of what type of material the sock used is better keeping the heat in and not letting in go. The two types of material my partner and I were using is cotton and wool. These kind of socks can be found anywhere from the 99 cent store to Big 5. We tested both out by wrapping them around glass cup and seeing the temperature changed or not. We also saw many reports online saying wool socks are better compare to cotton socks. Halfway through the test the wool socks proved to be better than the cotton socks due to the wool socks durability. In the end, my hypothesis was right. Wool socks are more superior to cotton socks and also kind of cheaper at stores by like a couple of bucks, well some stores.
Purpose (use 3rd person only) Have you (this is 2nd person) ever wonder why most socks are useless but expensive? Socks can be useless by the materials and the durability of its function. For example wearing cotton socks during the summer while hiking can give you athletes' foot. It is the material they use to make it. The type of material the company use to make socks can make a huge difference. Now we are doing this lab to see the result of which type of material in the socks are better to buy from the store to use and is also a good price to purchase.
History (sources?) During the 8th century, the Greeks used animal furs as socks. The Romans, instead used leather and woven fabrics. By then wearing socks symbolize purity to the Europeans. Before socks use cotton or wool, they use nylon in factories to make socks. During the end of the 1500, the knitting machine was invented, and more socks were produce. Mix in the material of wool or cotton is silk and bamboo. But the first pair of socks were dated back to 500AD and it was created by the Egyptians. Now socks are mostly use around the world by many people for the purpose of decreasing the chance of getting frostbite and keeping your feet warm because they are the most important part of your body. If your feet get to cold that means you’re going to get sick. Socks also help to absorb this sweat and draw it to areas where air can evaporate the perspiration.
Process (use 3rd person only! No "we" or "you")
The reason why humans need socks is because to keep feet warm and clean or from getting sick. Protects from getting blisters. (explain how a blister forms) Also absorbs sweat and helps solve problems with athlete's foot. Now they are made from knitting machines . Not really a big problem now because back then socks were hand made in factories by people since people have knitting machines its easy to make socks and other useful products . blisters forms when your sweating between your feet or repetitive pressure and friction on the feet or hand and also builds up heat which causes the skin to tear . When this happening the body reacts to it so fills the gap with fluid and which causes a blister.
APPLICATION Wool socks can be a little cheaper than cotton. In the summer wool socks are more useful because sucks up the moisture better than cotton socks. They should stop making cotton socks and make more wool socks. (Research socks used by runner and snowboarders.)
PROBLEM
Hypothesis (Use if then format) I think that the wool socks is most useful than the cotton sock, and also wool is more durable than cotton. And wool is more easy to use and measure .
Variables (Think again; this looks mixed up!)
independent: thermometer
dependent : wool socks
(Control: list at least 3)
Materials (use bullets, not number; list how many of each)
1) wool socks
2) cotton socks
3) 2 identical glass bottles
4) hot water
5) thermometer
6) plastic wrap
Procedure (number each step, begin with a commanding verb ,not "first, next, etc"; see #1-2 for example)
Fill both glass with hot water.
Dry the outside of the glass and place the thermometer inside and seal the top with plastic wraps.
Next, we cover one with wool sock and the the other one with cotton socks. We wait for 30 minutes to record the temperature of each one, and see if it keeps the warmth at a good steady pace.
(What data do you record? How many trials did you do?)
Conclusion In the end, wool socks is the best socks during this lab. (hypothesis correct? Errors? next step?) Reflection (During our research, we were surprised to learn that...) In our lab, we measured the difference between wool socks and cotton socks to see which can keep heat longer. Darius use a thermometer to measure it, he use the scale of Celsius. When we finish wool had a better grade in keeping in warmth then cotton. However cotton was just a waste of time and material to use. It is not that durable.
