Why does a metal spoon feel hotter than a plastic spoon in hot tea?

Metals are good thermal conductors, so they transfer heat from the hot tea to your hand quickly. Plastics are poor thermal conductors, so they transfer heat much slower.

What is Evaporation?

Evaporation is when only particles on the surface of a liquid turn into a gas. It's like some people in a crowd deciding to leave early, while others stay.

How is boiling different from evaporation?

Boiling happens when all particles in a liquid have enough energy to become gas, at a specific temperature. Evaporation happens at any temperature, and only the surface particles change.
