=**Which Metal Conducts Heat the Quickest?**=

The hypothesis was that copper would be the best heat conductor.
==First we melted 5 paper clips to each piece of metal using melted candle wax. This takes a while because it is hard and can be dangerous so it's good to have an adult with you. Then we lit another candle and held the piece of metal with paper clips over it. When each paper clip fell off we stopped the stopwatch. You can also use a timer. What we were measuring was time in minutes seconds and milliseconds. The outcome was not as expected. The best heat conductor was aluminum. It's first time was 2.03.66 and it's second time was. . .Iron was the worst heat conductor with a first time of 5. . .== ==Any advice I would give to someone doing this project is "If your trying to melt the paper clips to the metal hold it with two fingers and hold the candle close enough to get the paper clip without burning your finger". I would also suggest to use different metals. That way you will be able to find the best heat conductor in a wider spread of metals.==
