How Conductivity Effects Different Baking Pans 2

After the baking part of the experiment was over, I recorded the observations that I made based from the data table with all the temperatures of each pan. The Pyrex was the best conductor. It gained heat extremely quickly, but surprisingly slowed down once was in there longer. This maybe because glass is known as a insulator and will keep the heat it already has and keep out the heat trying to come in. The metal pan was the second best conductor. The metal pan took awhile to heat up, but kept increasing in temperature. The aluminum pan was the worst conductor, because its temperatures were not consistent throughout the cake.
