| 1) wood would most likely burn under this experimental setup. 2) simulation may lead students to think that heat travel in a direction - from left to right 3) change rod to different metals? Even a wooden spoon in hot coffee may not be hot to the touch at the end which we hold. 4) for the red rectangles that indicate heating of rod, perhaps we can have a button for IR imaging to trigger it. Otherwise the rate at which the thumbtack drops is sufficient to infer heat transfer is faster for the metal rod. 5) possible to tabulate data? Our science syllabus doesn’t teach students how to read graphs. So with a table and graph will definitely make the discussion deeper Since it’s a P4 topic. A table showing the time each pin dropped would be good. https://iwant2study.org/ospsg/index.php/interactive-resources/physics/03-thermal-physics/02-transfer-of-thermal-energy/873-gainheatcomparing2material |

| Could we have the Bunsen burning to be between the 2nd and 3rd pin? This will address the heat travel is unidirectional misconception https://iwant2study.org/ospsg/index.php/interactive-resources/physics/03-thermal-physics/02-transfer-of-thermal-energy/873-gainheatcomparing2material |

| For a fair test, only 1 variable could be changed. For a fair comparison, both Bunsen burner should be fixed to move together. If not, students who explored the simulation might get misleading results |
