Heat Transfer Mini Lesson

3/18 Heat Transfer

Conductors and Insulators

Let's Review!

• Transfer: Movement of something from one place to another

• Heat always move from hot to cold! High to low!

  1. Conduction: Heat is transferred through direct contact

• 2. Convection: Flow of through liquid or gas, hot parts rise ---> cooler parts sink

• 3. Radiation: Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves

Multiple Choice

How many kinds of heat transfer are there?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4 or more
