A fish tank is separated into two chambers separated by a thermal insulator. One side is covered with a piece of glass and the other is left open. A bright light above heats up the tank. The Chamber with the glass heats up to a higher temperature than the open chamber. Likewise, it cools down slower than the other chamber when the light source is removed.
