A student wants to investigate which of two materials, shredded paper or bubble wrap, is the better thermal insulator.

The student has the apparatus shown in Figure 3. They also have a kettle to heat water, a thermometer, and a stopwatch.

Figure 3: Unassembled apparatus containing a large 400 ml beaker, a small 100 ml beaker, a bag of shredded paper, a sheet of bubble wrap, a thermometer, and a digital stopwatch.
