Your body is 98 °F. What is the direction of heat transfer?

• From you to the glass and from you to the room

• From you to the glass and from the room to you

• From the glass to you and from the room to the glass

• None of the above

Read each description below and classify it according to how heat is being transferred (Conduction, Convection, Radiation).

• Conduction (Direct contact)

• Heating up your food in a microwave.

• Convection (Transferred through fluids)

•  A hot air balloon rises as fire heats the air inside the balloon.

• Radiation (Electromagnetic waves)

• 1. An egg begins to cook as it makes contact with a hot frying pan.
