Paul has different spoons for cooking. He told Sue that he likes to stir hot food with a wooden spoon because it
does not burn his hand. Sue disagreed. She said that there was no difference between wooden and metal spoons.
Was Sue right?
Yes. Metal and wood both conduct heat, and neither spoon will burn Paul's
hand.
No. Metal is a better conductor than wood, so a metal spoon could burn
Paul's hand.
No. Metal is a better conductor but the heat energy does not travel to the
handle.
No. Wood is a better conductor than metal and Paul could burn his hand
using a wooden spoon also.
