I need some ideas for this project I have been assigned. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Identify the building materials that are used in or on the walls, ceilings, or attic space in you home and school. Which ones are good heat insulators?

Thanks and Have a Good Day

ideas? it seems to me that the ideas are right there for you. what are your walls, ceilings and attic spaces made with?
 
Seve, think about what type experiment you could conduct to measure the insulation properties of different materials numerically.
