Lesson 18: Insulators True or False

Insulators True or False

Introduction

Hello scientists!  We have learned that heat can transfer from something hot to something cold.  We have also learned that energy transfer can be slowed down, or even blocked, by an insulator.  

Some items can serve as better insulators than others. Some examples might be wool, wood, glass, and plastic.  They are poor conductors of thermal energy.
