1. Does a tile floor feel colder than the area rug covering it?

2. Describe why it is better to wear mittens than gloves on a cold day.

3. Why is it better to wear several layers of clothing than one coat of equal weight?

4. Why do animals that have hollow, air-filled tubes for hair have an advantage in cold climates?

5. New windows typically have double or even triple panes of glass with a gas (argon or krypton) trapped among the panes and coatings that reflect infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light. In terms of heat transfer, why are these windows more “energy efficient” than single pane windows?
