IMPORTANT

A simple demonstration of conduction can be achieved with a Bunsen burner and some rods of different materials (copper, iron and glass are good materials to try).

Question Image

Melt some candle wax and dip the end of each rod into it; use the melted wax to stick a small nail or a pin to the end of each rod. Put the rods on a tripod and place the ends without candle wax into a Bunsen burner flame. The nail on the end of the best conductor will fall off first. In which order do you expect the nails to fall?
