A hot iron is turned off and cools down to room temperature.  The iron cools because....

• the iron does not hold heat very well
• the room transfers cold energy to the iron
• heat energy is transferred from the warm iron to the cooler room
• the thermal energy is destroyed during an interaction with the room
