Asked by Julie
Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. How can this scenario be changed to demonstrate conduction between the pan and the burner?
increase the temperature of the burner
use a glass pan instead of a metal pan
use foam potholders to hold the pan
touch the pan to the burner

Touch the pan to the burner.
Conduction requires direct contact so heat can flow through the material. A metal pan is a good conductor, so placing it on the burner will transfer heat by conduction. The other options either keep a gap (increasing temperature still won’t produce conduction without contact) or add insulating materials (glass or foam) that reduce conduction.
