Here are a couple of interactive websites on heat transfer:
See if you can make the heat in the beakers equal in 5 minutes, using one of the materials (glass, aluminum, copper, or steel). Which one works the fastest? What does this mean?

Try this experiment, to heat up the water, using different metals:

What is more important? - Is it the mass of the metal, or the material you chose?
If you have come up with some questions, after these activities, do a little research on heat energy:
