LAB: Conduction in Different Metals

Date of Experiment: 27/2/14 Name of Experimenter : Conduction of Metals A itle: Name of 2 Partners:

Conduction of Different Metals

"esearc# $uestion:

How does the type of metal affect how well it conducts heat?
C %aria&les:
"# )# *#

Independent $ariable: the one %ariable that is chan!ed b& the person desi!nin! the e'peri(ent ependent $ariable: the one that is affected b& the independent %ariable# It is usuall& the one %ariable that is (easured# Controlled $ariable: All the %ariables that (ust be +ept the sa(e to (a+e it a fair test#

$ariables (ust be presented in this for( but add ro,s if &ou need to# -ead the (ethod and then fill out this %ariables table#

Briefly name the variable

Ex. volume of water

For IV say how it will be changed, what values will be used? For DV say how it will be measured. For V say how it will be !e"t the same.
%here will be & different metal rods for us to test. 'e will be using (luminium, Iron, o""er and Brass and )inc. %hey will all be the same length and same width. %o measure the time, we will have a sto" watch and start it immediately when the metal ma!es contact with the heater. 'hen a dro" of wax begins to melt we will loo! at the time then record it.

%he ty"e of metal. Inde"endent Variable #IV$ *ow long each wax dro" ta!es to melt.

De"endent Variable #DV$

ontrolled variables # V$

E'uipment and Materials :

* bars of (etal .* of Al/ 0e/ Cu/ 1n/ brass 2 &ou ,ill

!et the data for the other * (etals later fro( another !roup3

* -ulers * Mar+ers (afet)

* Candles Matches " Hot plate " 4ric+ " Stop,atch
