Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity

Metals are good conductors due to presence of free electrons

They act as carrier to conduct heat or electricity.

So

Aluminum spoon will heat up as it is of metal

Iron spoon will heat up as it is of metal

Silver spoon will also heat up as it is of metal

Wood is a bad conductor of heat. It is an insulator

Wood has air space or pockets in its structure which makes it a bad conductor (it cannot conduct heat)

So a wooden spoon will be stay coolest as it is an insulator

A pharmaceutical company claimed that experiments showed that its drug could effectively reduce the growth of cancer cells by 35
BaLLatris [955]

Answer :  The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data.

Explanation : Any scientific claim must have reproducible experimental data. In this case, when the pharmaceutical company has the claim of reducing the cancer growth cells by 35% then by using the same manufacturing procedure for the drug and lab should be able to get this result. But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.
