I was always fascinated with the world of electronics. Therefore, I set out to answer the question of which metal is the best conductor. My procedure explains all my steps. My materials include all my metals Tin (Sn), Zinc (Zi), Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), and Iron (Fe). My hypothesis was that aluminum (Al) would be the best conductor. My data and experiment point to a different answer. My experiment proves that copper (Cu) was the best conductor out of all my metals. My analysis is and graph share the same chart.
great job
You did an awesome job thinking like an engineer and a scientist, your experiment was clear, your circuit setup was impressive, and you weren’t afraid to say your hypothesis was disproved (that’s what real science looks like!). Keep exploring electronics, and next time try multiple trials and averages to make your results even stronger.
