Which device were the students most likely observing?
Transfer of heat through
space
Key idea: NO touching
Ex: Sunlight warms earth's surface
Insulator
Radiation
Heat
Convection
Heat transfer within OR between materials
Key idea: touching
Ex: The spoon is warming up from the pot because they are touching
Conduction
Radiation
Heat
Convection
Heat transfer by movement
Key idea: hot rises, cool fills the space
Ex: The heat goes in a loop within the soup pot
Insulator
Heat conductor
Convection
Temperature
_Measurement of average kinetic energy (energy of motion)
Ex: The hotter something is, the faster the molecules move
Temperature
Heat
Condcution
Insulator
Material that
slows down the process of heat transfer
Ex: The wool sock
Heat
Insulator
Radiation
Heat Temperature
Material that allows heat to transfer easily
Ex: Metal Spoon
Radiation
Convection
Heat conductor
Temperature
