  1. Conductors andinsulators Conductors = materials that transfer thermal energy easily. Insulators= materials that slows or stops thermal energy from flowing.

  2. Conductors Allows thermal energy to travel easily through them. Solids liquids gases Solids are better conductors than liquids and gases.

  3. Insulators Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy. plastics blankets wood Insulators slow or stop thermal energy from traveling.

  4. Review Give three examples of good conductors of thermal energy. 1. 2. 3. Give three examples of good insulators of thermal energy. 1. 2. 3.

  5. Writing Exercise Write a paragraph that demonstrates your understanding of conductors and insulators.
