5th Grade PS .5.1.3 Review

Front

What is a conductor of heat?

Back

A material that allows heat to pass through it easily.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not conduct heat well and slows down heat transfer.

Front

Which material is a better conductor of heat: metal or wood?

Back

Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood.

Front

Why does metal feel colder than wood on a cold day?

Back

Metal conducts heat away from the body faster than wood.

Front

What material should be used to keep food warm in a lunchbox?

Back

Foam, because it insulates and slows down heat transfer.

Front

What happens to the temperature of water in a metal cup compared to a plastic cup?

Back

The water in the metal cup cools down faster because metal conducts heat away from the water faster than plastic.

Front

What is the effect of heat conduction on temperature?

Back

Heat conduction can cause temperature changes in materials, depending on their conductive properties.

Front

What is an example of a good insulator?

Back

Foam, rubber, or wood are examples of good insulators.

Front

How does heat transfer occur between two materials?

Back

Heat transfer occurs from the hotter material to the cooler material until they reach the same temperature.

Front

What is the role of thermal conductivity in material selection?

Back

Thermal conductivity helps determine how well a material can conduct heat, influencing its use in applications like cooking or insulation.
