Conduction is the process of heat transfer through __________ contact between objects.

DIRECT

100

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of ___________________.

Fluids (like liquids or gasses)

100

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through _________________ waves.

electromagnetic

100

What heat transfer process do the following examples belong to? Touching a hot pan, ironing clothes, cooking on a stove, holding an ice cube, heating a spoon in hot soup: __________________________

CONDUCTION

200

Energy flows from the warmer/colder object to the warmer/ cooler object. 

Energy flows from the WARMER object to the COOLER object.

200

Warmer fluids _______ while cooler fluids _________, creating a continuous circulation of heat energy.

RISE, SINK

200

The transfer of heat from the sun to the earth is an example of _____________. (think heat transfer processes)

Radiation 

200

Waves carry __________________, but not ___________________

energy, matter

300

When holding an ice cube, the heat starts in your ________ and conducts to the ______________.

HAND, ICE CUBE

300

When you heat water on a stove, the __________ water near the bottom rises to the top, while the ____________ water near the top sinks. This creates a ____________ current, which distributes heat throughout the pot, causing the water to boil.

hotter, cooler, CONVECTION

300

When the sun's electromagnetic waves come into contact with our skin, they transfer their energy as ________, which makes us feel warm.

heat

300

What type of wave doesn't need a medium to travel?

Electromagnetic

400

What material is a good conductor? __________

Metals

400

In the atmosphere, convection is responsible for?

wind

400

Unlike convection or conduction, radiation does not require a _________ medium to transfer energy.

medium

400

Why can't you hear sound in space?

Sound waves are carried through air (medium), in space there's no air. (vacuum)

500

Which metal is the best conductor of heat?  Aluminum, Copper or Silver

What is Aluminum?

500

Why did the hot red water rise and the cold blue water sink?

Warm particles rise while cold particles move close together and sink.

500

List two sources of radiation: ____________________________________________

sun, fire, electric heaters, our bodies! 

500

How does heat transfer in conduction, convection, and radiation: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Conduction= conTOUCHion (transfer through direct contact)

Convection= CONVECTION currents (transfer through movement of fluids)

Radiation= RaDiAtInG wAvEs (transfer through electromagnetic waves)
