Conductor of Heat

1.Wood or bamboo
2. Aluminum
3.Copper (redish)
4. Brass (Goldish)
5.Plastic

    I think the copper will slide first because the copper is  really really smooth.
I think the Brass Will slide second because it is real smooth.
I think the plastic will slide third because it is pretty smooth.
I think Aluminum will slide fourth because it is kind of smooth.
I think the wood will slide last because it is not so smooth.

1. How did heat energy transfer to the butter in this experiment?
2. What connections can you make between this experiment and yesterday's experiment?  "Both today's experiment and yesterday's experiment...  The main differences were..."
3. How did your results compare to your predictions?
4. Which of the tested materials were the two best conductors?  What is your evidence?
5. Which of the tested materials were the two worst conductors?  What is your evidence?
6. Do you think water is a good or poor conductor?  Why?  Can you think of any evidence to support your answer?
7. Why do you think it matters which material is a good or bad conductor?  How do we use conductors in our life?

1.The heat traveled through the rod into the butter and then the butter slid. The metal material is the best to slide.
2.The connection I can make is that the experiments had heat in them a difference was that one had butter and the other had water. The experiments were both  real cool and interesting to watch.
3.My results were almost nothing like mt predictions. My first one that I thought would slide was the copper and I was right but all the other ones were wrong except the last one.
4. The two best conductors were the copper and the aluminum my evidence is that those were the first ones to slide. I thought the copper was the best because it was the best conductor.
5. The two worst conductors were the wood and the plastic my evidence is that those were the two last to slide. I thought the wood was the worst conductor because I knew off my background knowledge.
6. I think the water is a good conductor because I knew off my background knowledge in science last year.
7. I think it maters which material is a good or bad conductor because we use them a lot in our life. We use conductors in our life because we might have to transfer something from a metrial to another metrial and conductors are a useful tool in life for these kinds of situations.
