The effect of size and shape of a warm blooded animal on how quickly it losses heat.

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. …showed first 75 words of 2417 total…

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.
