Front

What is heat transfer?

Back

The movement of thermal energy from one object or substance to another.

Front

What are the three main methods of heat transfer?

Back

Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.

Front

Define conduction.

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

Define convection.

The transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

Define radiation.

Back

The transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Front

Why is wood a good material for handles of cooking utensils?

Back

Wood is a poor conductor of heat, which prevents heat from transferring to the handle.

Front

What happens to the temperature of water when ice is added?

Back

The temperature of the water decreases as heat is transferred from the water to the ice.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

Touching a hot handle and getting burned.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

Boiling water where hot water rises and cooler water sinks.
