Insulation

WALT: Inform

INSULATION

Insulation keeps your body warm, it can also keep you safe like a plastic layer over a wire that keeps you safe by not getting eletricuted. It can also keep your house warm. It keeps your house warm with pink batts. Pink batts trap heat and keeps the warmth in. It is the same with a puffer jacket. Puffer jackets have feathers that can be warm even what it is cold. Like your house. 

A house keeps warm from the insulation in the walls. It has pink batts which are made of fibreglass. Fibreglass is basically putting a puffer jacket over your house.

Puffer jackets are made of feathers. Feathers are good insulation because for example: Ducks can be warm even when it is a very cold day. So feathers are good insulation.

A wire that has a plastic layer over top of the metal is because touched the wire you will get eletricuted. So they put a plastic layer to keep us safe.

 

Description:

We had to write a story about insulation.
