Energy Transfer

Thermal Energy is

• the energy of electrons moving through a circuit

• the energy stored due to its position

• the energy of particles in motion which can be described as heat

• the energy of moving downhill

Three ways that heat is transferred in thermal energy are:

• conduction, convection, and radiation

• temperature, heat, density

Heat transfer by convection happens when:

• there is a circulation of hot air/water rising and cold air/water sinking

• there is space that heat travels through in waves outwardly

• two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object.
