NGSS.MS-PS3-4

A type of heat transfer that occurs through the movement of fluids, which can be solid, liquid or gas.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

A material that allows electric charges to flow, therefore it conducts heat well.

• conductor

• insulator

A material that does not easily allow electric charges to flow, therefore it does not conduct heat well.

• conductor

• insulator
