What is the definition of a conductor?
Something that allows heat to move easily
100
What is the definition of an insulator?
Something that does not allow heat to move easily
100
Does heat rise or sink?
Heat rises because it becomes less dense
100
Does cold air rise or sink?
Cold sinks, because heat rises, and cold moves to replace it.

Warm clothes prevent you from losing radiant heat. Are they insulators or conductors
insulators
200
Are frying pans good conductors or good insulators?
Frying pans are good conductors

A boy burning his hand on the stove is an example of what kind of heat transfer?
Conduction

Is copper a conductor or insulator
conductor
300
Are Styrofoam coffee cups insulators or conductors?
insulators. They don't conduct heat.
300
Is a log of wood a conductor or an insulator?
It is an insulator.
300
Give one unit that temperature can be measured in
kelvin, celsius, fahrenheit
300
What method of heat transfer is this?
Conduction (energy transfer via contact)
400
Is Silver an insulator or conductor
Conductor

in the diagram below, what will happen to the pin, which is stuck to the wire with wax?
the metal wire is a conductor, so it will heat up, melting the wax and causing the pin to drop.

What method of energy transfer is this:
Conduction (energy transfer via contact)
400
define temperature
measure of how hot or cold something is

Explain why the rug on your floor feels warmer than the tile in the same room. Use the terms insulator and conductor
the rug is an insulator, so does not conduct heat from your feet. The tiles are conductors, and will absorb the heat from your feet, making them feel cold.

Use your knowledge of particle theory and heat transfer to explain which spoon should you use from the diagram below:
the metal spoon with the wooden handle. Metal is a conductor and will heat up as the particles gain heat energy. The wooden handle is an insulator and will not.

Which one will conduct heat better? 
Metal
