1.What is conduction? What is heat as defined in science?

17nguyentt101 — 2014-04-04 14:33:40 UTC

Conduction is the transfer of energy through matter from particle to particle. Heat is a form of energy that causes a difference in temperature.

2. Explain how conduction is demonstrated by the experiment that you are doing with the candle, wire, and wax?

Conduction is used in this experiment by the candle heating up the wire and causing it to fall off

3. Which of the wires conducted heat the best?

17fosterrc238 — 2014-04-05 03:52:39 UTC

The biggest wire conducted heat the best.

4. Explain with at least 2 sentences why that wire is the best conductor of heat?

17fosterrc238 — 2014-04-05 03:56:24 UTC

The big wire is the best conductor of heat because it has the most space for the heat to spread. Also, the wire has the most area to conduct the heat from the candle.

5. Which of the ESLR's was addressed in this activity?

17fosterrc238 — 2014-04-05 04:01:19 UTC

Effective communicator was the ESLR because the group had to tell the person where to put the wire and when to start recording
