- If a spoon is used to stir a liquid then that spoon is touching that liquid
- Soup is a kind of liquid
- Hence, if a spoon is used to stir soup then that spoon is touching that soup

- If a spoon is used to stir soup then that spoon is touching that soup
- The spoon is used to stir soup
- Hence, the spoon is touching the soup

- Cooking food requires adding heat energy to the food
- The soup is cooking on the stove
- Therefore, heat energy is added to the soup

- The spoon is touching the soup
- Heat energy is added to the soup
- Hence, heat energy is added to soup that is touching the spoon

- Soup is a kind of thing
- A spoon is a kind of thing
- Therefore, soup and a spoon are kinds of things

- Soup and a spoon are kinds of things
- If two things are touching then heat energy will be transferred between those things
- Therefore, if soup and a spoon are touching then heat energy will be transferred between the soup and spoon

- Heat energy is added to soup that is touching the spoon
- If soup and a spoon are touching then heat energy will be transferred between the soup and spoon
- Therefore, heat energy is transferring from the soup to the spoon

- Heat energy is transferring from the soup to the spoon
- The spoon in the example is made of wood
- So, heat energy is transferring from the soup to wood

- A thermal insulator slows the transfer of heat
- Wood is an thermal insulator
- So, wood can slow the transferring of the heat

- Heat energy is transferring from the soup to wood
- Wood can slow the transferring of the heat
- Therefore, the transferring of heat energy from soup to wood is slowed down

- If a spoon is used to stir soup then that spoon is touching that soup0
- Transferring of heat causes the object to increase in temperature
- Therefore, the wood will increase temperature slower

Hence, the wood will increase temperature slower
