Energy can be transferred from hot to cooler objects by
conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation.
1 The drawing shows vegetables being cooked in boiling
water. The pan is made of metal and it has a wooden handle.
a How is energy transferred from the part of the pan heated
by the flame to the water inside the pan?
Conduction

b How does energy spread through the water in the pan? Convection
2 Explain why the pan is made of metal and the handle is made of wood.

The metal pan conducts heart from the flame to the food well. The wooden handle is
not a good conductor and stops your hands getting burnt.
3 The diagram shows a metal spoon that has just been put
into a pan of hot water.
a Put an X on the part of the spoon where the particles will
be vibrating the most. X
b A few minutes later the whole spoon is hot.
Explain how this happens, using ideas about particles.

Conduction heats all the spoon as particle vibrations are passed along the spoon.

4 The oven has the heating element at the bottom. Explain

why the top of the oven is actually the hottest part.
The air heated by the element will rise because it is
less dense than the rest of the air in the oven.

5 The diagram shows a toaster.

a How does the energy get from the hot elements to
the bread?
By radiation.
b Explain why the other ways of energy transfer cannot be
heating the bread.
Air is poor conductor, so not much energy will be transferred by conduction.
Convection will transfer the heat upwards not sideways.

I can…
● identify energy transfer processes
● describe how energy is transferred by conduction and convection.
