Experiment
Life Heat
We got the idea for our project by thinking about how helpful it would be to have a lifejacket that would self-heat with simple materials in order to prevent hypothermia — a dangerous health condition caused by prolonged exposures to very cold temperatures. We became interested in this topic because we both love sailing, and of course lifejackets are critical. Hypothermia is very real threat to anyone who is around water, so we wanted to do an experiment that would help us develop a self-heating life jacket.
