Conduction can best be described as

• a type of heat transfer that occurs through the movement of fluids or gas.

• transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.

• transfer of energy from one particle of matter to another that are in direct contact.

A material that does not transfer heat well is known as a(n)

• Conductor

• Insulator

• Thermal Equilibrium

• Thermal Expansion

Objects such as a metal spoon or flagpole are known to be good thermal conductors because

• conductors allow heat to transfer easily.

• conductors do not allow heat to transfer easily.

• conductors are always fluids.
