Transfer of Energy as Heat
Conduction
Transfer of energy as heat by direct contact
The process that moves energy from one
object to another when they are physically
touching
The energy is moved from the hotter object
to the cooler object
Examples-Students holding an ice cube
Popcorn demo-jiffy pop-the jiffy pop is touching
the hot plate
Write another example and be ready to share!!
Convection
Energy can be transferred through the
movement of gases or liquids molecules
Convection is a cycle (convection currents)
Responsible for most winds and ocean currents
Uneven temperatures cause
Warmer, less dense air to be pushed up by cooler
(heavier) air molecules
As the air continues to rise and move, it begins to
cool and become more dense and it starts to sink
The more dense air moves under the warmer air,
pushing it upward
Convection in liquids
Convection in liquids is similar
Warm water is less dense than cold
water
The warm water is pushed upward by
colder water
As the water molecules cool, they
become more dense and begin to sink.
They move under the warmer molecules
and push them upward
Radiation
Another way in which energy can be
transferred as heat from one place to
another
Radiation is energy that travels as
electromagnetic waves
Heat is transferred through these waves
Visible light
Microwaves
Infrared light
