Heat Transfer

Good morning!

Today we'd like you to spend a bit of time learning about Heat Transfer. There are three types of heat transfer: Conduction, convection, and radiation.

While you watch the Conduction video below, answer the following questions:

1. What is an example of a poor conductor?
2. What is an example of a good conductor?
3. Describe how heat energy moves in Conduction.




While you watch the Convection video below, answer the following questions:

3. How does a furnace heat your home using convection?
4. What makes a hot air balloon rise?
5. How does heat energy move in conduction?
6. List three examples of convection.


While you watch the Radiation video below, answer the following questions:

7. How does the sun transfer heat to you?
8. What form does radiation travel in?
9. List three examples of heat radiation.



Now you need to make a summary of the three types of heat transfer by going to this website. If you want a more advanced website you can go here.
