Questions + answers = 9.5

Q1. What evidence is there to suggest that heat travelled along the rods?
A1. The wax melted only because the moved from one end of the rod to the other.

Q1. Through which rod did heat travel the fastest?
A1. The copper rod.
Q3. Which rod is the poorest conductor of heat? What evidence do you have for this conclusion?
A3. The glass rod is the poorest conducter of heat; the wax on the glass rod was the last to be heated.
Q4. Why was it important to put the blobs of wax the same distance from the bunsen burner?
A4. So that the time until melting is affected by the speed of energy conduction and not the distance from the bunsen burner.

OUR CLASS EXPERIMENT DID NOT WORK VERY AFFECTIVELY!!!!
