It is better to use a plastic baby spoon instead of a metal one. Metal spoons make it easier for babies to hurt themselves when they are first learning to use eating utensils.
The plastic used to make a plastic spoon is usually a thermoplastic called polypropylene. A plastic spoon would be made in the process called injection molding, where thermoplastic resin is injected into a metal die, containing a cavity in the shape of a spoon. Thermoplastics are a type of plastic where they can be formed using heat to soften and melt them. Polypropylene would be specifically chosen for a spoon because it has the properties of higher heat tolerance, meaning the spoon could be used to stir a hot cup of coffee without problems. Usually food grade PP is used for spoon. Besides PP, PS is also used. IF any interest in buying plastic spoon moulds, pls contact sinomould-13@hotmai.com
not all bunsen burners have plastic grips some have metal its probably just the make
Metal is no longer used. Trim and moldings are plastic these days.
There is no way we can claim that plastic is better than metal. We can't say that it is worse either. The point is that without knowing how to compare, we can not claim one or the other. Properties of most types of plastic. 1 Low density. 2 Light weight. 3 Easy to form. 4 Cheap But these properties makes plastic better only if this is what we are after. Plastic is not generally as strong as metal. Plastic is not as durable as metal... although it depends on its use. By combining metal with plastic, we get strength and durability. Just think of a car with paint versus a car without paint.
metal, plastic, wood; depends on the spoon
Metal

the spoon is metal and metal conducts heat , if you put a metal spoon in a drink the drink will retain the heat but if you take it out it's like your taking a whole lot of heat, in other words a metal spoon is like a magnet of heat it you remove the spoon it will remove heat but if you keep it in the heat will stay.shoraye khatter.
Yes, if its made out of plastic.

you need metal and plastic.
While the process of making a metal spoon may use hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds of steel used to make the spoon, the spoon itself is usually not what most people would consider steel. A spoon, generally is only a few ounces and is usually made from copper, stirrling silver, or stainless steel.
yes they our since metal costs more to make then plastic. Plastic slinkies cost about $4
cut a ragged hole with scissors. then to smooth it out heat a measuring spoon in a stove fire. the spoon should be very HOT. put the spoon on the edge of the ragged hole, and the plastic on the sides should melt. smooth the hole out and presto!
Depending on what type of metal the spoon is made out of it is a conductor of electricity. To make the spoon magnetic you would have to constantly charge the spoon with electricity to magnetize the metal base, IE:a nail with a wire coiled around it and charged with two D batteries. All you have to do is coil a wire around the spoon base and connect both ends of the wire(BRASS) to two D batteries and you should have a small electro magnet.
Metal is a good conductor. Loosely held electrons can bump into other atoms and help transfer thermal energy.Transfer of heat.
