CONDUCTION PROJEC by Jessica Dang

Which wire conducts the most heat?

Well, the one that conducts heat mostly from our experiment was the thickest one. It seems to be that the thicker the wire, the more heat it transfers through the entire wire. In conclusion, thicker wires conducts more heat.

Which one melted the wax first?

During our experiment, the wire that melted the wax first was the thickest wire.

How does conduction of heat works in the experiment?

The wire is made of copper. Copper transfers heat. The more copper atom the wire has, the more heat it gains. There is a bit of wax on the wire, then we put heat on the other end. This cause the heat from the other end to transfer to the wax causing it to melt.

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

The eslr's that were adressed in this activity are responsible members of society, and critical thinkers because

Tom and I worked together, we demonstrated a postiive work ethic and we recognized the importance of a healthy lifestyle. We made sure that the fire was not going to burn the plate and we cleaned after ourselves. We are also critical thinkers because we synthesized the information, skills and concepts through the curriculum, devloped educated opinions and made well informed choices, and we both applied knowledge to solve problems. We used bookmarks to make the wire more taller so then it can burn faster, we choose the candel that was right for the wire and we tried to make the wax really small and thin so it could burn faster.

What is conduction? How is heat defined in science?

Conduction is the ability of energy that passes through a solid and heat defined in science is the transfer of one object to another.
