What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Hot fluid rises while cooler fluid sinks, creating a circulation pattern.

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. Heat moves from the hotter object to the cooler one.

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. It does not require a medium (like air or water) to travel.

Why is metal a good conductor of heat?

Back

Metal has free electrons that can move easily, allowing heat to transfer quickly from one part of the metal to another.

What happens to air in a hot air balloon when it is heated?

Back

The air inside the balloon becomes less dense and rises, causing the balloon to lift off the ground.

What is an example of conduction in everyday life?

Back

Touching a hot handle of a pot and getting burned is an example of conduction.

Front

What are the three types of heat transfer?

Back

The three types of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation.
