Exploring Thermal Insulators and Conductors
What do you already know about materials that keep things hot or cold?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will be able to identify thermal insulators and conductors, explain how conduction works, and correctly use key terms like molecules, thermal, and degrees Celsius.
How Does Heat Move?
Heat moves from one object to another when their molecules bump into each other, a process called conduction.
Thermal Conductors vs Insulators
Materials like wool or plastic stop heat from moving quickly. Insulators help keep things warm or cool.
Thermal Insulators
Materials like metal let heat flow through them easily. Metals are good at conduction.
Thermal Conductors
