I will be proud and smile about this experiment not because of the factual results and observations, but only because it had a positive influence over me and will hopefully have the same effect on you! The dictionary definition of an experiment is: “A test under controlled conditions that is made to demonstrate a known truth, examine the validity of a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy of something previously untried.” Yet, this word has a deeper meaning and evidently a huge impact on people and their development. Experiments, curiosity, questions, and the search for answers form part of our daily life and determine its route. Thanks to these tests we gather info, develop research skills, evaluate our thinking, compare to others, implement and apply the gathered knowledge to solve problems, and finally come up with additional new complex questions. My experiment is meant to answer two questions I came up with last year during the construction of my house. Which combination of construction materials, including of brick, cement, adobe, tile, and corrugated metal heats the quickest?  Which combination is the most effective at maintaining this energy? After several changes, problems, and days of researching and constructing, I began to test and observe my findings. To continue the journey and fully understand the theme please explore the rest of  this transportation vehicle!
