Holly JollyHeat Transfer

Have you ever had trouble with your favorite candy melting before you got to

eat it?

Question: Can you slow down heat

transfer from your body to a Hershey

Kiss?

Procedure:• Take two Hershey Kisses.• Save one for later.• You have 10 minutes to create an

insulating pouch for your Hershey’s Kiss.

• Also, you’ll be competing with a neighbor to see who can keep the most heat out with your design.

Your insulating pouch must still be able to fit in your pocket.

It has to fit directly around one of your Hershey’s kisses.

Use the materials available to create your insulating pouch:• plates• paper• cotton balls• foil• old towels• staples• tape

Place both Kisses in your pockets for the next 15 minutes.

We’ll see how well your insulated kiss holds up against your body heat as we compare both kisses.
