1. Conduction and Insulation

2. Conduction The movement of heat, electricity, or sound from one object to another object

3. Conductors of Heat Conductors of heat allow heat energy to pass through them easily. Examples of Conductors of heat: Iron Copper Aluminum

4. The reason why pots and pans are usually made of metal is so the heat from the stove will pass through the metal and cook whatever is inside. Metal is a good conductor of heat.

6. Insulation Not allowing heat, electricity, or sound to pass through easily

7. Insulators of Heat Insulators of heat are poor conductors and do not allow heat to pass through them Examples of Insulators of heat: Wood Plastic Cloth Feathers

8. Most cooking utensils are metal but have plastic grips to insulate the heat from traveling to your hands.

9. Winter clothes are often made of warm cloth of feathers to insulate you.

10. Conductors of Electricity Materials that allow electricity to move through them easily. Examples of conductors of electricity: Copper Water

11. Most electrical wires are made of copper because it is a good conductor.

12. Insulators of Electricity Insulators of electricity do not allow electricity to pass through easily. Examples of insulators of electricity: Rubber Plastic

13. Most electrical wires are covered with plastic or rubber to prevent electrical shock.
