Why does metal feel cold to the touch?

🧠 Detailed Explanation (For Older Kids)

Metals are really good at conducting heat, which means they can transfer heat very fast. When you touch a piece of metal, it quickly pulls heat away from your skin, making it feel cooler than other surfaces. That’s why, on a hot day, a metal slide can feel much colder than a wooden one! So, it’s not that the metal is cold itself; it just makes you feel chilly by taking away your warmth.
