A bad conductor of heat means, it is such a substance which does not conduct or transfer or absorb heat.
For eg. you can say wood, plastic, ceramics, paper, rubber etc.

1. rubber is a poor conductor that is why it is used for coating electrical wires.
2. plastic is a poor conductor that is why it is used in making handles of utensils.
3. paper
4. wood, it is used in winters for providing heat as it can burn easily.
5. cloth, we wear them.

conductors :
Water, Gold, Silver, Copper, Zinc, Aluminum, Steel, Nickle, Cobalt, Brass. Most metals have relatively good electric conductivity but these are some of the most commonly used
?
insulators :
Wood, Glass, Plastic, Rubber, ?Plants, Diamond, Silicon, Paper, porcelain, Ebonite

so materials that do not conduct heat easily are called bad conductors or insulators of heat.
Liquids and gases do not conduct heat so easily so they are poor or bad conducters of heat. For example both water and air are poor conducters of heat materials that trap air inside them are also bad conductors of heat example glass, wood, and cork
Mud is a bad conductor of heat. It
Does not allow heat to go out of or come into a house . Therefore, mud houses remain cool in summers and warm in winters.
