heat is the byproduct of an object vibrating at the molecular level. When those vibrations transmit to nearby collision molecules, heat transfer occurs. Generally, the less a metal weighs, the quicker it can transfer heat.
Aluminum is a good example of this. But a hot aluminum pan will warp easily if you put cold water on it. Cast iron transfers heat much slower and doesn't easily warp if you douse it with cold water

What is an example of transfer of heat through conduction?
Boiling a pot of water on the stove. The heat couldn't reach the water if it were not conducted through the metal pot.
Will the metal ball go through the metal ring if you heat the metal ring?
yes because when you heat a metal ring it will expand
What method is heat transferred through a metal skewer?
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
Why can heat travel through metal but not wood?
Because metal is a conductor
Why does a metal rod feels colder to touch than a wooden rod at the surrounding temperature?
Metal is an excellent conductor of heat. The moment you grasp the metal rod, the heat of your hand is conducted away rapidly by the dense metal. If feels "chilly". Wood is a poor conductor of heat. It does not conduct away the heat of your hand,and the wooden rod stays comfortably warm in your hand.

What is a material that does allow heat to be conducted easily?
metal
Why heat cannot be conducted through vaccum?
Conduction requires a medium. In vacuum there is no medium through which heat can be conducted. However, heat can be transmitted through vacuum in the form of radiation.
Will heat be conducted along the length of the metal rod when the whole rod has a uniform temperature?
No. Heat is conducted from a region of high temperature to that of lower temperature. If the whole rod is at the same temperature then there is no temperature gradient and so no heat will be conducted.

No. Heat is conducted from a region of high temperature to that of lower temperature. If the whole rod is at the same temperature then there is no temperature gradient and so no heat will be conducted.
What is frequently used in jewelry this metal is the best conducted of heat and electricity?
silver

Can heat be conducted through a vacuum?
Yes, heat is an electromagnetic energy like light.
How do laptop heatsinks work?
Heat is conducted from the CPU to the heatsink, usually through a thermal gel of some kind. The heat is then distributed through a thin strips of metal, usually copper, and a fan blows air through them, which transfers the heat to the air and away from the CPU, usually through a small vent on the side of the laptop.

Is heat a conductor?
No, it is not. Heat is something that gets conducted, not a conductor. Heat transfers through objects and mediums so no it is not.
Why do batteries have metal at both ends?
So they can conducted electricity through the appliance
