Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Heat transfer is the way heat moves through matter to
change the temperature of other objects. There are three types of
heat transfers, Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. The first
kind of heat transfer, conduction, is heat transferring through
direct contact of materials. This would be the same thing as a pan
on the stove. The heat from the stove touches the pan directly,
therefore making the pan hot. The next type of heat transfer is
convection. Convection is heat transferred by a gas or liquid.
Such as dumping hot water into a cold glass of water, making the
water overall warmer. The last type of heat transfer is radiation.
Radiation is when the heat energy travels in actual waves. The
suns energy gets to earth because of radiation.
These three types of heat transfer can be easily found in the
activities we have been doing the past couple of weeks having to
do with a universal dwelling. They can mostly be......
