Any insulator - just think what kinds of material are used to protect people from heat: Oven gloves i.e. cotton Pan handles i.e. rubber and plastic Nuclear reactors are surrounded by 10m of water to insulate the thermal heat Asbestos used to be used for insulation The list is endless!

What are some good conductors and bad ones?
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
Which materials are good or bad conductors of heat?
metals are good conductors of heat, i.e. iron, steel,... non-metals are bad, i.e. carbon...
Why white bodies are bad conductors of heat?
because they reflect heat
How does cloth keep things hot and cold?
Cloth is a bad conductors/good insulator of heat. Bad conductors keep things warm or cold, so the answer is, because cloth is a bad conductor of heat!
Which material will let heat through?
Thermal conductors let heat through. These tend to be metals, such as aluminium or iron. Bad conductors might be plastic or glass.

Why some of the materials are insulators?
They are bad conductors ,they do not allow heat transfer.
Which material will let heat through?
Thermal conductors let heat through. These tend to be metals, such as aluminium or iron. Bad conductors might be plastic or glass.
What are goods and bads?
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
Why do metal spoons heat up instead of expanding?
They are conductors of heat They are conductors of heat They are conductors of heat
What are the 5 bad conductors of heat?
wood, plastic, water, vacuum and air.
How good and bad conductors of heat are useful to us?
Substances that don't have the capacity to carry heat are called bad conductors of heat (or insulators ). Substances that have the capacity to carry heat are called good conductors of heat. As for electricity, it is very, much the same.
List down some good and bad conductors of heat and relate them to their function?
