Heat can easily travel through metal, which is why it is often used to make pots & pans.

This describes the physical property of

• thermal conductivity

• electrical conductivity

• malleability

• luster

Physical property of matter that describes when it changes from a solid to a liquid.

• melting point

• boiling point

• magnetic attraction

• solubility
