heat transfer . Which container was the best conductor of heat energy? Enter your answer I investigated what effect different materials had on heat transfer. I used four different containers made from four different materials . I filled each container with hot water with a temperature of 50^circ C I measured the temperature of the water in each container after 10 minutes. My results are shown below.

## Step 1:Identify the initial temperature of the water in each container, the final temperature in each container, and the material making up each container. In this case, the initial temperature for all was . After 10 minutes, the temperatures in the four containers ended up as follows: - **Wood** - **Copper** - **Porcelain** - **Zinc** ## Step 2:Th indicate which container performed the best in terms of thermal conduction, focus on thermal energy transfer as a result of thermal conduction. The process of thermal conduction causes heat energy transfer from a hot object or substance (in this case, the water inside the container) to a colder one (the material of the container). Consequently, the container with the highest degree of thermal conductivity will witness the most significant decrease in its water temperature. ## Step 3:Figure out the changes in temperatures which shows which container had the most significant fall in its water's temperature (which correlates with having excellent thermal conduction) by subtracting the final temperature from the initial temperature in each container.**For the wood container:**### **For the copper container:**### **For the porcelain container**### **For the Zinc container:**###
