Not all of them are. A metal spoon is a good conductor because it's made of

metal. Plastic or wood spoons are not good conductors, because they're made

of plastic or wood.

Is a wooden spoon a conductor or insulator?

Wood is an insulator. Think about it; when you put a wooden or plastic spoon in boiling water, does it burn your hand? No. This is because it slows the flow of heat from the water to your hand. I do not suggest trying the same thing with a metal spoon, which is a good conductor.


Why is a metal spoon a conductor why?

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.
