Try This for Heat Transfer

Place either beans, rice, or sand in a beaker. Heat them up and see how long they can hold their temperature doing the same experiment in heat transfers. I would expect for the solids to conduct heat slower, because convection happens in liquids and gases and pushes more vigorously against their surroundings (Tillery, Enger, & Ross, 2008). Therefore, the solid would stay hot longer.
