Insulators are usually plastics, and conductors are usually metal.

for electricity:
Insulators:
Bowl (plastic), tupperware containers, plastic utensils, formica or granite countertop, plastic microwave or oven handle, spatulas, stone-sinks

Conductors:
egg beaters/whisk, metal knives, metal flippers for burgers, sink faucet, metal bowls, metal utensils (silverware)

for heat:
insulators: plastics, porous items (*sponges), -your entire refrigerator-
conductor: metals, stone countertops, glass (the glass measuring cups come to mind, the ones you put boiling water in)

How do you know the difference between conductors and insulators?

Conductors allow the flow of electricity due to the presence of free electrons, while insulators inhibit electron flow. Conductors often have low resistance, while insulators have high resistance to the flow of electricity. Materials such as metals are good conductors, while materials such as rubber are good insulators.

Are insulators good conductor of heat?

No, insulators are not good conductors of heat. Insulators are materials that do not easily allow heat to pass through them due to their high resistance to thermal conductivity. They are used to prevent the transfer of heat, maintaining a barrier between hot and cold environments.
