Warm Up
1. In the diagram above, the water in the pan is changing from a liquid to a gas, or ____.
a. Melting c. condensing
b. freezing d. evaporating
2. What is matter?The amount of matter something contains.Everything in the universe that has mass and takes up spaceThe amount of salt in waterThe amount of space that matter takes up.

4. Buoyancy is__________
The ability for an object to float
To form a solution with another material
The amount of matter something contains.

What is a conductor?
A conductor is something which allows electricity to flow through.
When dealing with thermal energy, conductors allow for heat to transfer easily from one object to the next
An example of a conductor is:

What is a Insulator?
An insulator is what makes electricity from not flowing
When dealing with thermal energy, insulators do not allow for the transfer of heat from one object to the next. They help to keep in the thermal energy.
Examples of insulators are:
CottonPaperPlastic GlassRubberAir Slide5
Conductors
allows energy flow through them. Conductors are materials that can carry energy - they conduct energy. Metal materials such as copper, iron, steel and aluminum are all good conductors of energy.
Insulators
do not allow energy to flow through them. Materials such as wood, plastic, rubber and glass do not carry energy and are called insulators – they don’t conduct energy.
