Thermal Conductors and

Insulators
Conduction

The transfer of heat from one particle of

matter to another by direct particle to particle
contact.
Thermal conductors

An object that tends to move heat quickly

from one object to another
Thermal conductors

Metal is a good thermal conductor because it has

free moving molecules so the heat can move
quick and easy.
Thermal Insulator

An object that tends to slow down or reduce

the rate at which heat is transferred from one
object to another.
