An insulator . . .

• Allows a lot of heat to escape
• Makes the temperature of an object rise
• Moves heat from one place to another
• Traps heat inside an object

True or False: A thermal conductor transfers heat well between two objects, and the heat does not stay in one place.

• True
• False

A jacket is a good example of an . . .

If I wanted to heat up a pot of water, what type of bowl should I use to best conduct the heat?

• Plastic
• Ceramic
• Styrofoam
• Glass

In our experiment, we found that water in one certain material LOST more heat than the others. Which material was this, and what did that mean about the material?

• Metal - It was our best conductor
• Styrofoam - It was our best conductor
• Metal - It was our best insulator
• Styrofoam - It was our best insulator

True or False: An insulator is a type of material that allows heat to escape from an object quickly.

• True
• False
