What are Thermal Conductors Thermal Insulator
Mo8-L2b
and Insulators
a material through which energy f ows slowly.
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. How do thermal conductors and insulators
different?

Vocabulary A-Z

Let us learn some vocabulary

Vaporization
the change of state from a liquid to a gas.

Let’s Begin

Heat and Changes of State

Melting is the change of state from a solid to a liquid.

Thermal Conductor Freezing is the change of state from a liquid to a solid.
a material through which thermal energy f ows
quickly.
