Conduction Experiment
Plan
1. Place the rod carefully onto the tripods with the edges touching.
1. Attach a drawing pin to the outer end of each metal using a small blob of
Vaseline.
2. Heat the end point of the ring with a blue Bunsen flame.
3. Record how long it takes for each metal to lose its drawing pin.
Results
Metal
Time taken for the drawing pin to fall

Analysis
1. Explain why the drawing pin falls?
2. Explain why this experiment would not work if we used plastic?
3. Rank the metals is order of conductivity.
