What is the final step before observing the results in the experiment?

• Placing the setup under sunlight

• Heating the spoons directly

• Pouring hot boiling water into the bowl

• Freezing the setup overnight

Why did the bead move down the spoon made of metal?

• Due to the magnetic properties of metal

• Because metal conducts heat better

• Because metal has a higher density

• Because of the gravitational pull

Why did the bead not move on the spoons made of wood and plastic?

• Because they are waterproof

• Due to their non-conductive nature

• Because they are lighter than metal

• Because they absorb heat

What does the experiment demonstrate about heat conduction?

• Only metals can conduct heat

• All materials conduct heat at the same rate

• Heat conduction is not affected by material

• Different materials conduct heat differently
