What else can I help you with?
Make a list of materials which are good conductors of heat and materials which are good insulators of heat from objects at home?
Generally, things that feel cold to touch (in a normal temperature room and no heating applied to them) are good conductors of heat (metals for example). Poor conductors tend to feel neither hot or cold under normal conditions (wood for example).
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.
Are all objects considered conductors?
Assuming you mean an electrical conductor, No. To be a conductor, a material must have free electrons in the conduction band of the atoms. Metals have free electrons intrinsically in these bands, and so make great conductors. If you mean heat conductors, the answer is also no. Some objects are insulators of heat.
What would not make a good insulator?
Materials that are good conductors of heat and electricity, such as metals like copper and aluminum, would not make good insulators. These materials allow heat and electricity to easily flow through them, making them poor choices for insulating purposes.
Are cooking utensils good conductor?
Most cooking utensils are poor conductors of heat. Utensils made of materials like stainless steel and glass have low thermal conductivity, resulting in uneven heating. In contrast, utensils like copper and aluminum are good conductors and distribute heat more evenly.
What materials would make the best potholders?

What makes something a good conductor of heat?
Good conductors of heat have closely-packed atoms with free electrons that can move easily through the material, transferring heat energy rapidly. Additionally, materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals like copper and aluminum, are typically good conductors of heat. Smooth surfaces without gaps or voids also enhance the efficiency of heat conduction.
Why would you expect the materials used to make pot holders to be poor conductors to heat?
if they weren't they's scald the person holding them or the surface they're on.

What material make good conductors?
Good conductors of electricity are materials that allow electric current to flow easily through them. Metals such as copper, silver, and gold are excellent conductors due to their high electron mobility and low electrical resistance. Other materials like aluminum and iron are also decent conductors but not as efficient as pure metals.
