Why are nonmetals used for making handles of pots?
so that they dont get too hot just by conduction from the metal pot
Why is the control needed in any experiment?
Because you need to verify that the variable being tested is actually what made the difference. Imagine that you were testing the theory, "If I put plants in red pots, they will grow." So as a test you put plants in red pots, and they grew. That's only half of the experiment, though, because if you put plants in green pots and they also grew, then the red pots don't change anything. In this case, the plants in green pots are the control group. In order to prove that the color of the pots mattered, you would need to do two sets of tests, one without the red pots.
Is a potholder a condutor or an insulator?
A potholder is an insulator. Its purpose is to insulate against the heat of the pots that you pick up.
Would yogurt best be measures in milliliter or liters?
Milliliters - pots of yogurt don't normally come in liter sized containers. You measure yogurt in ml and milk in l. You can also measure it in grams.
Why is ti necessary for people who do not plan to have careers in science to be informed about the environment?
It's because the environmentalists in the white house want you to support raising taxes to fund some stupid project that is going to go to pots in three weeks, like cash for clunkers.
Why are pots made of metal and handles of pots made of plastic or wood?
So that you can handle them without getting burned
Why are pots made of metal and handles of pots made of plastic?
Metals are good conductors of heat, so the heat from the stove is easily transferred to the food in the pot. Handles are made of plastic because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so that the heat from the stove is not transferred to your hand when you grab the handle.
Why are pots made of metal and handles of pot made of plastic?
So that they don't get hot and you can pick them up.
Why do you need to use plastic handles with pots?
becose or else you could burn your hands piking up the handle
why should handles of pots and pans be made of wood or plastic instead of iron or aluminum?
Because Iron and other metals are high conductors for heat and every time you touch the handle you would burn your hand. Wood or plastic doesn't conduct heat as well and so you can touch it.
Is a toothpick a condutor or a insulator?
insulator, a conductor is usually metal. thats why the handles of pots and pans are made of plastic and wood

Why do many cooking pots have wooden handle?
Wooden handles on cooking pots do not get as hot as non-wooden handles, making them easier and safer to pick up and move them around.
Why is wood sometimes used for pot handles?
Wood handles are used for pots and pans because they will not burn your hand while cooking. Wood handles on pots and pans can often be replaced as needed so a complete replacement is not necessary.
Can we recycle old pots and pans?
It depends on what material the pan is made of. (Whether it's made of plastic, metal, iron, etc.)
Why do most pots and pans are made of aluminum?
They are made of Aluminum because aluminum gathers and stores heat.
Why are cooking pots made of metals and why are their handles covered with wood or plastics?
Conduction. Metals are very good conductors of heat/electricity. Wood and plastics are not.Because plastic and wood has no conductivity so the heat wont pass through it and wont burn the hand of a persons.Cooking utensils have wood or plastic handles primarily to prevent the cook from burning his/her hands. Wood and plastic conduct heat much less than metal.Metals are good conductors of heat. To stop burning your hand, plastic or wooden handles are used, which are not such good conductors of heat.Good thermal conductivity of metals means that metal handles get hot- plasic and wood arepoorer conductors of heat so are cooler.
