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.
Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon at room temperature?
A metal conducts heat faster. Thus, the heat will be taken away from your hand faster.
When you pick up a spoon your body heat will warm up the part of the spoon you are touching why does the metal spoon feel colder than the wooden one?
We are back to basic science metal is a conductor and wood is an INSULATOR.
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 hotter than a wooden spoon when in hot water?
because metal is a conductor which likes hot things

Place a wooden spoon and a metal spoon in the freezer. Which will cool faster After several hours what would they feel like?
The metal spoon will cool faster because it has a lower heat capacity. After several hours they both will feel the same.
Why does the handle of a metal spoon got hotter than a wooden spoon?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Wood is not a good conductor of heat, although I wouldn't exactly call it an insulator of heat either. If you put a wooden spoon halfway into a pot of hot water, the dry part of the spoon will not get hot even though the wet half will be as hot as the water is, if you leave it in for a while. But if you heat up a wooden spoon and keep it dry, let's say by leaving it on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven along with some cookies, you may be able to grab the spoon and pick it up even though it's hot. There's no way you could do that with a metal spoon because you'd "feel" the heat more with metal. The heat would be conducted from the metal spoon to your skin, but a wooden spoon won't conduct much heat to you.
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

Why metal feels colder than a wooden fence?
Metal will conduct heat better than wood. While both the metal and the wood are the same temperature, heat will flow from your hands to the metal very quickly (and you feel cold). When you touch wood, a poor conductor, heat does not flow from you as quickly.

Why would an iron post in a park feel much colder to touch than a wooden bench?
Because wood slows down transferred of thermal energy that why an iron post is colder than a wooden post
