Earl is using his hands to hold a metal pan 10 centimeters above a hot burner. how can this scenario be changed to demonstrate conduction between the pan and the burner?

Earl needs to touch the pan to the burner.

Explanation:

Earl is demonstrating heat transfer by conduction.

Conduction is the transition of heat energy by direct contact. Hotter molecules have more momentum and they move faster.These hot molecules collide with the cooler ones, transfer their energy to cooler particles , this process is continued to pass it on to other molecule near to them.
