Task: Hypothesis and table in book

Types of Heat Transfer

• Conduction
– Only happens in solids
• Convection
– Only happens in fluids (liquids & gases)
• Radiation
– Does not use particles
– Pure heat energy
– Can occur anywhere, even in a vacuum
 Conduction (only occurs in solids)
• Hot particles vibrate a lot

• Cool particles vibrate a little

 Conduction
• Fast-moving particle (lots of energy)
collide with neighbouring particles
• This gives them more energy, making
them vibrate faster
 Conduction
• This continues along the length of the solid
until all the particles are vibrating with lots
of energy

Conduction
When you heat a metal strip at one end, the heat
travels to the other end.

As you heat the metal, the particles vibrate, these

vibrations make the adjacent particles vibrate, and so on
and so on, the vibrations are passed along the metal and
so is the heat. We call this? Conduction
 Conductors and insulators
