1. convection, conduction, radiation
2. Heat always rises.
3. A conductor transfers heat well and allows it to move from one place to another and insulators do not transfer heat well and keep the heat in a certain substance. Metal is a conductor and a wool blanket is an insulator.
4. It would work better as a conductor because it has low resistence. If something has low resisitance it means that it is easier to move electrons through. Since thermal heat is transfered through electrons it makes it easier for thermal energy to pass through it.
5. Personally I would build a fire. I would do this because although putting up a tent(which is convection) would help, it wouldn't be as warm. If I were to build a fire, that would be radiation and I would become warmer faster.
