Description
This science fair project was conducted to evaluate how thermal conductivity varies in different types of metals. The tests were done with copper, aluminum and steel wires 

Instructions preview
1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the type of wire used – copper, aluminum and steel. The dependent variable is the thermal conductivity of the wires. This is determined by using the digital infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the wires. The constants (control variables) are the length and diameter of the wires, the temperature of the water and the distance between the measurements. 2. The tips of all 3 wires are bent at 90 degree angle, 50mm from their tips so that the center portion will be 1 meter long. Using the marker .....
