write an activity to show the conduction take place in a metal in a ( activity form )
Answers
Conduction is the transfer of heat from object to another.
It has been observed that the heat gets transferred from the hotter object to the colder object.
• Take a strip of iron and put wax on it at regular interval points.
• Fix one end of the strip to a clamp
• Heat the other end of the iron strip.
You will observe that as the end being heated becomes hotter, it gradually transfers heat to the other end. This is proven by the melting of the wax pieces placed at intervals. This is because conduction of heat is taking place.
Explanation:
Gather your materials. You’ll need a cooking pot, a stick of butter, and three types of spoons. The spoons you need are a wooden stirring spoon, a plastic cooking spoon, and a regular metal spoon. [1]
You need to get spoons that are relatively long. If you put the spoon in the pot the handle should be coming out of the pot by about three or four inches.
If you want a precise measurement for heat conduction you can also use thermometers. In that case, you’ll need three thermometers and electrical tape.
