Created page with "==Key Stage 3== ===Meaning=== A '''thermal insulator''' is a material that does not allow thermal energy through easily by Thermal Conduction|co..."

New page

==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''thermal insulator''' is a [[material]] that does not allow [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy]] through easily by [[Thermal Conduction|conduction]].

===About Thermal Conductors===
: [[Non-metal]]s usually make the best '''thermal insulators'''.
: [[Metal]]s make poor '''thermal insulators'''.
: Gases make good '''thermal insulators'''.
