Best Answer

GLASS DOES CONDUCT HEAT. It will take on the temperature around it. If you have a very hot drink inside a glass and you touch it, its going to feel very hot. If you have a very cold drink inside a glass and you touch it, it is going to feel very cold.

What doesnt conduct heat well?

Heat insulation is defined as the resistance to the flow of heat offered by a material when it is subject to a change in temperature. Objects that put up a lot of resistance to heat flow don't conduct heat well, and are called insulators. Some examples of insulators are wood, rubber and glass. Things that do conduct heat well don't offer much resistance to heat flow. Many metals fall into this category, such as aluminum, copper, and gold. See the link below for more information on heat conduction.
