1. Which feels warmer on your bare

feet a tile floor, a wooden floor, or
carpet? Why?
2. Conduction occurs when 2 objects at
different temperatures ________ each
other.
3. Conduction occurs when particles
with _____ kinetic energy strike
(bump into) particles with _____
kinetic energy.

6. Which form of heat transfer occurs
through empty space?
HEAT TRANSFER
CONVECTION
Convection
Convection transfer of thermal energy
by the movement liquids or gases.
When warmer particles rise and cooler
particles fall creating a convection current.
Convection in our homes

Radiators heat the

air which becomes
less dense and
rises. The cooler air
sinks and a
convection current
forms. Heat is
transferred
throughout the room
by convection.
Convection around us
Explains why breezes come from the
ocean in the day and from the land
at night
How does heat flow?
Heat flows in three different
ways:
RADIATION
RADIATION
Radiation heat transfer through
matter or space by electromagnetic
(EM) waves.
Radiation in our homes
Heat transfer summary
Thermal Energy (heat) always flows
from the hotter item to the colder
item.
Conduction by direct contact of
particles (occurs in solids)
Convection convection currents in
liquids and gases
Radiation mostly in gases or empty
space (EM radiation).
How does heat flow?
Heat flows in three different
ways:
What is a fluid?
A fluid is a substance that can
flow.
Fluids are liquids and gasses.
