Conductivity is a type of energy transfer, examples like heat and electricity. Heat is  17ngos271 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25322774 2014-04-04 19:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25322774 2. In this experiment energy ( heat ) was transferred from one end of the rod to the other end. This experiment was to find out which rod would transfer the best. On what rod the wax ball would melt will determindwhich is the best to conduct heat.  17ngos271 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323024 2014-04-04 19:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323024 17zetinawa045 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323423 2014-04-04 19:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323423 3. The biggest rod melted the wax first so therefore the biggest rod was the best conductor for heat in this experiment 17ngos271 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323455 2014-04-04 19:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323455 4.  I predicted that the biggest wire would transfer heat the best. From what i think there is larger space for the candle to burn on the rod so that would lead to that the wax would get melted first then the others. The smallest one was only warm when i touched it, compared to the larger one its way off. Therefore the larger rod is the better conductor. 17ngos271 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323584 2014-04-04 19:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323584 17zetinawa045 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25323777 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByNpT99jSImfaHM3b2dOejBXT0k/edit

We both predicted that the bigger rod would be the one that melts the wax first because we know it has more metal. In conclusion we guessed it right. We were also effectively communicating. While one of us would video the wax and another work on the padlet wall, we made it efficient with our time.    17ngos271 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25324129 2014-04-04 19:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25324129 17zetinawa045 https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25324286 2014-04-04 19:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/17ngos271/waxballs/wish/25324286
