Thermal energy can move through materials in a process
called conduction of heat.
This is the heat transfer process (the
means of moving thermal energy) with which we are most familiar. It's the reason we use metal pans for cooking on the
stove, but wooden spoons to stir the pot.
Please note that the first activity requires a long
equilibration time.
**Please note that the first activity involves a long wait, at least a few hours, ideally most of the day. So set that up
ahead of time. It's an extension of the first activity you did in the thermal equilibrium section.
