There are better, and safer, ways to teach heat transfer. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend putting your hand into a fire or into liquid nitrogen for "demonstration" purposes. Doing so invites the potential for injury and I have seen impressionable
youth try to imitate such actions without the proper understanding of the principles involved.
I believe the ACS has also formally discouraged this type of activity in chemistry outreach programs.
