Question

Observation in boil of hot water in plastic spoon, steel spoon,pencil and wood?

Answer 1

When you use a plastic spoon in boiling water or drink out of a plastic water bottle on a hot day, you might wonder if the plastic is at risk of melting. Like every other substance, plastic has a melting point, which is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid.

Answer 2

Spoons- Heat Conductors

Try to find spoons that are all similar in size to get more accurate results.

For this experiment, you'll need a wooden spoon, a metal spoon, a ceramic spoon and a plastic spoon. Boil some water in a kettle and pour it into a coffee mug. Put all four spoons into the water at once, arrange them so they aren't touching, and then feel the difference in temperature in each spoon. The spoons will be soaking up the heat from the water and the more conductive the material, the hotter it will feel.
