Glass (shows the slowest temperature change).

Exploration of Heat Transfer via Conduction - Gizmo Simulation

Copper (shows the fastest temperature change).

Compare materials like aluminum, copper, steel, and glass. Results from Course Hero and other sources:

The Gizmo demonstrates that . The efficiency of this transfer depends on the material's thermal conductivity; for example, Copper is a superior thermal conductor while Glass serves as an effective thermal insulator.

How does the temperature difference relate to the rate of change?

The rate of heat transfer is fastest at the beginning when the temperature difference between the beakers is largest. As the temperatures get closer, the rate of transfer slows down. 4. Activity B: Conductors and Insulators
