yes. It conducts heat just like other substances, but not as well as metals.

How does a tight fitting plastic stopper on a flask minimise heat transfer?
It prevents heat transfer by convection as it prevents contact between the surrounding air and air inside the flask. It prevents heat transfer by conduction as it is a poor conductor of heat.
Which of these materials transfer heat energy slowest metal glass plastic wood?
Wood.
Which two forms of heat transfer or work together to heat water in a plastic bottle?
convention and conduction
How does plastic foam reduc heat loss?
Plastic foam consists of bubbles containing air or gas. Those bubbles are poor conductors of heat, and reduce the transfer of heat from warmer to cooler areas.
The transfer of heat by fluid?
The transfer of heat by fluid is convection.

Does metal or plastic transfer heat faster?
When you put metal in water it cools down quick. When you put plastic in the microwave, you're in for a big problem....Plastic is the answer.
What is the part of the mantle that can bend plastic?
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?

What is the part of the mantle that bend like plastic?
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?
What is convective heat transfer?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
Why are saucepans handles usually made from wood or plastic?
Wood or plastic doesn't transfer heat as well as metal. If the handles were metal, you could not pick the pan up.
What are two examples of heat transfer?
Convection - heat transfer through liquids.Conduction - heat transfer through solids.Radiation - heat transfer through vacuum.
How does temperature affect the rate of heat transfer?
For conductive and convective heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the the temperature difference; if you double the difference you will double the rate of heat transfer. For radiative heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the difference of the 4th powers of the absolute temperatures.
What is convective heat?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
