aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.

Who created aluminum?
Depending on your religious background, either God created aluminum or nothing/nobody did. It's naturally occurring and the most common metal in the earth's crust. Unfortunately, it's never found as the free metal as it reacts readily with other chemicals in the earth. It's most commonly found in the ore called bauxite. If you mean, "who coined the name aluminum as a pure form of the metal?", then Humphry Davy did this in 1808. By the way, I'm British, so I really do spell aluminum this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That above answer is incorrect the metal foil has been around for centuries. Foil is solid metal that has been reduced to a leaf-like thinness by beating or rolling. The first mass-produced and widely-used foil was made from tin. Tin was later replaced by aluminum in 1910, when the first aluminum foil rolling plant "Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen." was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons (aluminum manufacturers) started in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls - capturing the falls' energy to produce aluminum. Neher's sons together with Dr. Lauber discovered the endless rolling process and the use of aluminum foil as a protective barrier. From there began the wide use of aluminum foil in the packaging of chocolate bars and tobacco products. Processes evolved over time to include the use of print, color, lacquer, laminate and the embossing of the aluminum.Reference: http://inventors.about.com/od/astartinventions/a/FamousInvention.htm
How do you build a cargo ship out of aluminum foil that is sturdy?
you use a strong material like wood and then put the tin foil over it, so it is waterproof because if you did not put a waterproof material on it would absorb the water and sink.
What conserves heat better paper cotton or aluminum foil?
aluimum foil
What substance insulates ice better aluminum foil or cloth?
Cloth
Is cotton a better insulator than aluminium foil and tissue paper?
No, cotton is not a better insulator than aluminum foil and tissue paper. Aluminum foil is a good insulator as it reflects heat, while tissue paper acts as a thermal barrier. Cotton, on the other hand, is not as effective of an insulator because it does not have the same reflective or thermal barrier properties.
How do you do a science fair experiment on the question of which material conserves heat best paper cotton or aluminum foil?
By burning.
Which material conserves heat the best paper or aluminum foil?
Aluminum foil.
What is the dependent and independent variable for which material conserve heat best paper cotton and aluminum foil?
Independent: The heat Dependent: The result
What kind of materials do need for which material conserves heat best paper cotton or aluminum foil?
aluminium foil because it has the qualities of metal and tin which are good heat conservers.
What keeps things colder aluminum foil or waxed paper?
aluminum foil keeps things colder.
What keeps thing hotter plastic wrap aluminum foil or wax paper?
aluminum foil i think
Which preserves heat longest paper cotton or foil?
Definitely Foil.
How do the different types of insulators affect the temperature of the can Out of Steel Wool Aluminum Foil Cotton and Bubble Wrap which one would be the best insulator?
If I had to choose the best insulator out of steel wool, aluminum foil, cotton and bubble wrap, I would choose the aluminum foil.
Which material conserves heat best paper cotton or aluminum foil?
The best heat saver is tin foil. Cotton paper is going to absorb the heat and it will dissipate shortly after. Tin foil will keep heat in because it allows the air to circulate around the object being kept warm.
