Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates the difference between materials that conduct heat well and those that do not. When heated, metals transfer heat quickly, causing the wax to melt and the pin to drop, showing good conductivity. Materials that do not transfer heat effectively fail to melt the wax, showing poor conductivity.
