What is conduction?

Conduction is the transfer of heat between two stationary objects cause by temperature differences in each part of the object.

Conduction in the Experiment.

In the experiment, conduction happens when you light a candle to heat up a wire, and to melt wax on the end of the wire. Conduction happens when you wait for the heat to travel from the candle and to the wire. Once it does that, the heat travels to the end of the wire where the wax is, and melts it. So the heat basically traveled to the wax which melted it.

Which of the wires conducted heat the best (melted the ball of wax first?

The biggest and thickest wire melted the wax first.

The biggest wire melted it first because the wire was big so it can transfer more energy to the wax. Also, it had more surface area for more energy to come through.

The eslr that was used was responsible member of society. The partners working together had to help each other when they needed. They also helped other people who weren't even in their group. Another eslr used was self-directed learners. We had to incorporate our technology to help us finish the experiment.
