Cambridge Secondary (7-9). Stage 9. MCE Science. Workbook - Unit 10: Transfer of Thermal Energy - Question 9

Attach several drawing pins to a clamped metal rod using small pieces of candle wax. Heat one end of the rod with a Bunsen burner and observe the pins as the rod heats up. Wear safety goggles, tie back long hair and keep a safe distance from the flame. Do not touch the hot rod or falling pins; let the apparatus cool before handling.



How was thermal energy transferred along the metal rod during the experiment?
