Biology Coursework Practical – Heat Loss

Background Knowledge:
The surface area to volume ratio of an object is determined by dividing the surface area by the volume and putting it into a ratio of one.
e.g. A flask of volume 200cm3 and a surface area of 160cm2 will have a surface area to volume ratio of:
160
---- : 1 = 1.25 : 1
200
Objects that are not the same size but have the same surface area to volume ratios ....
