This document discusses heat transfer and thermal energy. It defines heat as a form of energy produced from the movement of thermal energy. Thermal energy is the energy possessed by objects due to the movement of particles. Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction involves direct contact between objects, convection involves the circulation of particles in fluids, and radiation emits electromagnetic waves. Metals are good conductors of heat while insulators are poor conductors. A thermometer is used to measure the temperature or degree of hotness and coldness of objects.
16. The energy from the object of
higher temperature is transferred to
the other object through their
particles that are close or in contact
with each other.
17. Then the particles receiving
the energy will also transfer
the energy to other places
within the object through
their neighboring particles.
