This is a great low cost way to teach thermoregulation. I will be using this activity in my Animal Physiology lab section next spring. It is very straight forward yet could be made more complex for undergraduates. They could write up their own design and hypothesis of how to compare no insulation, feathers and fat. Then we could use this exercise to test their hypothesis. Adaptations of different animals and their respective environments could be constrasted and compared.
