I need a simple method of measuring thermal conductivity of liquids for a school project. I have access to the school's science labs, so I can get the basic equipments (hopefully). All I need is a method of measuring thermal conductivity.

I am not aware of any simple method for the determination of thermal conductivity. You might want to google this. I've found this http://www.hukseflux.com/thermal%20conductivity/thermal.htm so far but I doubt if it'll be helpful.

There are a lot of different methods for measuring thermal conductivity. One of the easiest to use in measuring a liquid is the modified transient plane source technique developed by Dr. Mathis' company (C-Therm)
