    This science document describes a series of experiments on heat conduction using different materials like copper, balls, pots, and cups. It explores how heat is transferred between objects in contact through the conduction particle model. The experiments show that metals are good conductors while plastics and polymers are poor conductors as they trap the fast-moving conduction particles and slow the transfer of thermal energy.
