Heat Shield Project

In science this year we learned about heat transfer. In the unit we learned about conduction, convection and radiation. We also learned about insulators and conductors. When we finished learning, my teacher told us that we would be doing a project on heat shields. We had to create a heat shield that would protect an egg from a blow torch. My science teacher broke up into different teams. My team name was AAA Enterprises because all of our names started with an A. We did a lot of test runs. Our final was made out of tinfoil, metal lathe, dried pasta, cotton balls, and sponge. Our egg was cooked 2 millimeters of the egg!!! Our eggs name was Greg the Egg. This project was so fun!!
