Why a metal bench feels colder than a wooden one.When one sits on it on a cold morning even though both are the same temperature.Explain this observation?
Then when you touch the bench it feels a little warmer than the rest of it was because it has increased its temperature slightly through the transfer of heat energy from your body to it. The bench feels really cold. That is because your body is at a warmer temperature than the metal bench and it conducts heat from you which means that you feel cold.
Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when its taken out of the refrigerator?
Metal conducts heat better than wood. When you touch the cold spoons, the heat of your hand travels away more quickly through the metal, so it feels colder.
Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when in cold water?
Because metal conducts heat faster than wood. The temperature of the water will be carried up to your hand much more efficiently by the metal spoon than a wooden spoon.
Does heat energy flows from colder to hotter?
No heat does not flow from colder to hotter. It flows from hot to cold.
Why a metal handrail feels colder than a wooden handrail even though they are at the same temperature?
The metal has higher thermal conductivity than wood so it takes heat away faster from your warm hand, causing it to feel cold

How do you make water cold?
An easy way to make water cold is to put it in the refrigerator. If this is not possible, adding colder water would make water colder. Actually, adding ice would make this process faster, as it is colder than cold water. And dry ice would make it cold even faster than ice (but dry ice is dangerous- be careful).
