Heat Transfer by Conduction
An insulated beaker of hot water is connected to a beaker of cold water with a conducting bar, and over time the temperatures of the beakers equalize as heat is transferred through the bar. Four materials (aluminum, copper, steel, and glass) are available for the bar.

my students enjoyed this gizmo, for them the gizmo allowed them to not only learn at their level, but to participate in their own learning.

6th Grade Science: if you use this to discuss thermal energy and temperature... works well as whole class activity...

Relates to experimental method and ties in conductivity and heat transfer. Great gizmo!
