 * THE STUDY OF WARMING HANDS USING GLOVES **


 * ABSTRACT **

The purpose of this study was to find out what type of gloves warm hands the most. Temperature is what was measured to find out what type of gloves work the most effectively. To do this experiment hands were first dipped in ice water, then different types of gloves were placed on them and then the temperature of the hands were taken. The data showed that the woven gloves warmed hands the most after being in ice water. This is because the insulation in the gloves was more compact than the others. Once the heat was inside of the glove it never was released.


 * EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **

An improvement to the experiment would be being more aware of how the person was moving within the gloves. This way the results would be more precise. In the future it would be interesting to know if any of the tactics would work better when having a glove or mitten on the hand .
