Well, the idea behind a pot holder is that it acts to keep your hands or the surface the hot dish is placed on from being burned. If the material were a good conductor of heat, you'd burn yourself. The materials used to make pot holders are expected to be poor heat conductors because they are expected to keep you from burning yourself.

What would you expect to make a good insulator?

a poor thermal conductor.


Which of these would you expect to make a good insulator?

Materials with low thermal conductivity such as rubber, glass, and wood are good insulators. These materials are poor conductors of heat, so they do not easily allow heat to pass through them.


Is a key an insulator or a conductor?

A key would be a conductor. ------------------------------------------------------ That would depend on what the key was made of. Keys made out of metals would be conductors, while contactless plastic car keys would be insulators.


Is cheese a conductor?

No, cheese is not a conductor of electricity. Conductors are materials that allow electrical current to pass through them easily, while cheese is an insulator and does not conduct electricity.
