Mechanical Engineering

The project is to \"Design and build an experiment to verify thefirst law of thermodynamics by stirring air with an electric motorpowered paddle, in a well-insulated container.\" We are planning onfinding the work of the motor and seeing if it equal to the changein internal energy of the container. The only problem is that weare confused on how to find the internal energy. What would be thebest/easiest way to solve this? Also since the containor is wellinsulated does that mean that the deltaQ would equal 0?

Thank you very much!
