Materials that are Good

Conductors
Prepared by: Daisy M. Veloria
 LEARNING COMPETENCY:

Discuss why some materials are

good conductors of heat and
electricity
S5FE-IIIc-3
 It is important to study the
conductors so that we can understand
why metals are usually used in activities
involving heat and electricity.
 After the lesson, I will give you a quiz
by letting you discuss why some
materials are good conductors of heat
and electricity.

Why are metals good conductors of heat and electricity?

Watch the video to learn the reasons why

metals are good conductors.
 Metals are good conductors of heat and
electricity. It contains free electrons where it moves
through the metal easily. Electrons gain kinetic energy
when it collides with hot atoms and pass on energy when
they collide with cold atoms.
When metals are heated, atoms and free electrons
vibrates that causes the transfer of heat and electricity
faster.
Free Electrons Metal Atoms
 Here are also some reasons why some materials a
good conductors of heat and electricity:
• gain heat quickly
• increase in temperature quickly
• lose heat quickly
• decrease in temperature quickly
• conduct heat from a hot to a cold object quickly
• can be hammered
• shiny
1. Identify the conductor used.
The conductor used is copper. Copper is metal.
2. State or list the reasons why it is a good conductor.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity
because it contains free electrons where it moves through
the metal easily. It also gains heat quickly and it is shiny.
 Discussi

The conductor used in this matter is metal.
Metals are good conductors of heat and
electricity because it contains free electrons
where it moves through the metal easily. It also
gains heat quickly and it is shiny.
We Do

Discuss why this material is a good conductor of heat

and electricity.
Remember the steps in discussing.
To discuss,
follow these steps:

1. Identify the conductor used.

The conductor used is caserole.
2. State or list the reasons why it is a good conductor.
Most caseroles are made of metal. These are good
conductors of heat and electricity because it contains
free electrons where it moves through the metal easily.

WORK!!
Group 1

Direction: Look at the picture. Read the statement and answer the questions that
discusses why this material is a good conductor. Circle the letter of the correct answer.
1.What conductor is used?
a. plastic b. metal c. rubber
2. What kind of metal is used?
a. gold b. bronze c. silver
3. Which statement discusses why this material is a good conductor.
a. Metal is a good conductor because it contains free electrons where it moves
through the metal easily.
b. Metal is not a good conductor because it does not allow electricity and heat to
pass through.
c. Metal is not a good conductor because it does not gain heat quickly
