Which material will “conduct” heat the quickest?
Needed Materials
1.Glass beaker
2.Butter
3.Beads
4.Wooden Spoon
5. Metal Spoon
6. Drinking Straw
7. Plastic Spoon
Beginning the experiment
We began by placing a small amount of butter on the different utensils, and we placed the beads on each one. We boiled water and put it in the glass. Then we waited.
Which utensil was the best conductor of heat?
After about 5 minutes the winner was the metal spoon’s bead. The metal was the best heat conductor.
Second Place
Second place goes to the plastic spoon. The plastic was second best conductor of heat.
Third Place
A close third place goes to the drinking straw. It was the third best conductor of heat.
Last Place
Last place goes to the wooden spoon. It was the worst conductor of heat.
