Heat Conductivity | |
Description: | Demonstrate the different heat conductivity rates of assorted metals. |
Notes: | The device has spokes of different metals, labeled as follows: FE (Iron - the piece attached to the handle); GS (galvanized steel); AL (Aluminum); CU (Copper); BR (Brass); NI (Nickel). Put a piece of wax at the end of each, and heat up the center. The metals with higher conductivity will melt the wax faster. |
Location: | LDR-J2. Also need a heat source and some pieces of wax. |
