• Plastic strip

Which heat source can be used in the experiment?

• Electric stove

• Bunsen burner

• Induction cooktop

• Microwave

What should students observe as heat travels along the iron strip?

• Color change of the strip

• Sound production

• Melting of wax dots

• Bending of the strip

What is the purpose of marking the strip lengthwise?

• To measure the temperature

• To place wax dots

• To identify the hot end

• To calculate heat flow

What happens to the wax dots as heat propagates along the strip?

• Dots do not melt

• Dots melt in order from hot to cold

• Only the first dot melts

• All melt at once

What is the role of the wax in the experiment?

• To insulate the strip

• To measure temperature

• To visualize heat propagation
