Heat Transfer Experiment

Today in science class we learned that heat flowed in a copper pipe from a warmer to a cooler area of the pipe. We placed a copper pipe into a container filled with warm water. The heat went up the pipe to our hands. When we put the pipe into cold water the heat traveled down the pipe to the cold water. When the experiment was done with plastic pipe it took more time because heat travels more slowly in the plastic.
