QUESTION GIVEN---Thermal conductors don’t have to be hot to transfer heat. According to Ch.16, explain a situation when an ice cube would still transfer heat to another object it is in contact with.
MY ANSWER---Because, the ice may be trying to transfer cold, but if the other object is a good heat conductor, then it will take longer for the ice cube to even make it cold in the slightest. Good heat insulators do a better job of keeping the heat in and cold out.
Did I explain this correctly?

No, I disagree.
It has to transfer heat to something colder, like a vat of liquid air or the surface of Lake Superior in February.
