tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.

Thank you.
 Lesson Why Some Materials are
3 Good Conductors of Heat
and Electricity
You have learned in the previous activities that conduction is one of the ways on
how heat can be transferred to another material. It is also the transfer of heat in
solids or from particles to particles. Different materials differ in the way they
conduct heat.

Let’s explore more!

What’s In

Let’s have a review of our past lesson. Complete the organizer by

enumerating the characteristics of a good conductor of heat and electricity.

GOOD CONDUCTOR

Notes to the Teacher

It is difficult to observe directly how heat and electricity move
through materials because they move through tiny particles of matter, the
molecules. The molecules are made up of the tiniest particles of matter
called atoms. Metals are made up of atoms with free moving electrons.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles of atoms that can combine
with other electrons. The electrons are loosely arranged, that they can
collide and move freely back and forth, conducting heat and electricity.
 What’s New

You have learned that some materials have characteristics that made them good
conductors of heat and electricity. Find out the reason by doing the activity.

5. Why are metals good conductor of heat and electricity?

What is It

What makes metal a good conductor of heat and electricity? Metals are good
conductors of heat and electricity because of their electronic particles and also
because they tend to denser so that heat is transferred by neighboring atoms in close
contact. Metals are made up of atoms. Atoms are the tiniest particles of matter.

Copper is a metal that is commonly used in electrical wires because

of its high conductivity. It is the most common electrical wire that can be easily
connected by soldering and clamping. Your body and the non-metallic materials can
be conductors of electricity because of the presence of water and minerals.

Now let us see what you have learned today.

I have learned that ________ are good conductors of heat and electricity because of
their ____________ and tend to become denser so that heat transferred by the atoms
in close contact is more efficient. _________ is a metal commonly used in electrical
wires because of its _____________. And that our body and non-metallic materials
can be conductors of electricity because of the presence of __________________.
 Assessment

A. Write TRUE if the statement discusses the characteristics of a good conductor

and FALSE if not.

1. All solid materials can transfer heat and electricity easily.

2. Metals are good conductors of electricity.
3. Ductile materials like aluminum and gold are conductors of heat and
electricity.
4. Liquid with ions allows heat and electricity to transfer to other materials.
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because of its high thermal
conductivity.

Additional Activities

For your additional task, read and answer the questions. Explain your
answer briefly. Observe the standards in writing. Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.

Hey, my dear child. Let’s make this time a bit easier and fun to do.
In your previous lessons, you already learned that there are materials that are
good conductors of heat and electricity.
This time, let’s illustrate/draw the materials that are good conductors of heat and
electricity.

What’s In

Before we proceed with the new lesson, let us have a review. Ready?

Tell whether the object is a conductor or an insulator.

Importance of Knowing That

Lesson
Some Materials are Good
5 Conductors of Heat and
Electricity
Hi there! You have learned that there are materials that are good conductors
of electricity and that we must also consider the importance of it to be able to become
aware of the use of it and for our safety.
For the new lesson, you are going to learn the importance of some materials
that are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Let’s begin.

What’s In

Before we start with the new lesson, let us recall the lessons you have learned.

Look at the different materials and appliances in your house. Which among
these are conductors of heat and electricity? Write your answers on a separate sheet
of paper and point out the conductor in the materials or appliance/s.

What’s New

What do you think would happen to the materials around us if there will be
no conductors or insulators?

Let’s find out!

Activity
 I. Title: My Importance
II. Materials: pictures of different conductors of heat and electricity
III. Procedure:
1. Look at the pictures of different conductors of heat and electricity.

2. Write the importance of these materials as a good conductor of heat and

electricity.
3. Record your observations on the table below. (Do it in a separate sheet of
paper)

Name of
Materials Importance/Uses
Good
Conductors Hospital At school Factories At home

IV. Questions:
1. What materials are good conductors of heat and electricity?
2. How are they useful in hospitals?

What is It

Certain materials can undergo a process called conduction. This allows

electricity to pass through and flow easily. Conduction takes place in metals, and
these elements are used in electronic parts in appliances and other electronic
devices.
 The rubber or plastic covering of a wire protects you from being electrocuted.
These materials do not allow electricity to pass through. These serve as protection
against conduction.

Homes, schools, factories, hospitals use materials that conduct heat and
electricity. When you are cooking and uses appliances the energy transfers heat from
the appliance to the food. However, the handle must not get uncomfortably hot.
Schools use materials run by electricity, such as computers, electric fans, lamps,
and others. Same with hospitals, they use equipment using conductors of electricity.

What’s More

A. Look at each picture, choose inside the parenthesis its uses or importance
of the materials as a conductor of heat and electricity. Write your answer
in a separate sheet of paper.

( for frying, for steaming, for eating )

1.
( to provide heat, to provide sound, to provide light )
2.
( used to entertain, used to convert data and facts
into meaningful information and knowledge, used
to provide heat and light )
3.

( used to press clothes to remove creases, used to

give light, used for cooking )
4.

( used for cooking, used for tightening objects,

used for writing )
5.

B. Answer the following questions.

1. What materials are useful in conducting heat and electricity?
2. In what ways are conductors of heat and electricity important?
