conduction, convection, and radiation.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. It occurs when molecules collide and transfer energy.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Warmer, less dense fluid rises while cooler, denser fluid sinks.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light. It does not require a medium to travel.

Front

Which is NOT a type of conduction?

Back

The sun.

Front

Give an example of conduction.

Back

Touching a hot pan.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

A hot air balloon rising due to heated air inside.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

The heat you feel from the sun.

Front

What happens to particles during conduction?

Back

Particles vibrate and collide, transferring energy to neighboring particles.

Front

How does convection work in a pot of boiling water?

Back

Hot water rises to the top, while cooler water sinks, creating a circular motion.

Front

What is the main difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction occurs through direct contact, while convection involves the movement of fluids.
