Exploring Heat Transfer: Conduction, Convection & Radiation

The video tutorial explains the concept of heat as a form of energy and its transfer methods: conduction, convection, and radiation. It includes experiments demonstrating conduction using a copper rod and nails, convection using colored water in a bottle, and radiation using a radiometer. The tutorial emphasizes the movement of heat from hotter to colder bodies and the role of density in convection.
