Heating Metals Coursework Plan Aim: I am going to heat up three different metals: 1kg of copper; 1kg of iron and 1kg of aluminum to find compare their rates of heat conductivity. Method: The metals will be cylinders, all of equal mass. They will have 2 holes one for a thermometer (to record the temperature) and another for a 50-Watt electric emersion heater (to heat the metals). I will take a reading every minute for ten minutes. As I only have time to heat each metal for ten minutes, I have decided to heat all the metals to the same temperature before starting the time. This is so that when I plot my graph of the results, I will not have to wait for the densest of the 3 metals to begin to heat up before I get a curve to compare to the results of the other metals. This should increase the...
