1. What is a thermal conductor? Give an example.

2. Why do metals often feel cool to the touch?

3. Design a way that you would use a thermal conductor in your life?

A thermal conductor is an item that can conduct thermal energy or temperature, much like a knife.

Metals often feel cool to the touch because the are thermal conductors, storing cool energy making them feel cooler.

Using thermal energy is like taking a knife and warming it up so it can better cut through objects.
