3. Conduction. It’s the transmission of heat to
another object.
If a hotter object touches a cooler object, the
heat will jump to the cooler object, keeping
it warm and comfortable.

Metals (and diamonds) are GOOD
conductors, Non-metals are not so good…
8. What is it?
So, convection is the movement of heat
through fluids.
9. What is it?
So, convection is the movement of heat
through fluids.
It is the process that makes hot fluids rise to
the top, and cold fluids fall to the bottom.
10. What is a fluid?
A fluid is a substance that has no fixed
shape.
11. What is a fluid?
A fluid is a substance that has no fixed
shape.
What are two types of fluids?

15. When you heat a teapot full of water, the
fire is at the bottom. The water at the
bottom gets hot and rises to the top.
16. Because the rising heat is going away from
the hot fire, it cools down.
Cooler water will then fall to the bottom
and get hotter.
17. This will go around and around forever
until:
A) _____________?
B) _____________?
18. This will go around and around forever
until:
A) You stop the heat
B) _____________?
19. This will go around and around forever
until:
A) You stop the heat
B) The water evaporates
20. You can watch the movement of
convection with barley seeds.

22. The water that gets hotter expands – gets
bigger.
If it gets bigger, it is less dense.
23. If it gets bigger, it is less dense.
Close together
and small.
24. If it gets bigger, it is less dense.
Far apart
and bigger
25. If they are more spread out, they weigh
less, and rise to the top

Light and
floating
Heavy and
sinking

The lava inside the earth is so hot, it rises
upwards. As it spreads across the top, it
pushes the land around, cools down, and
falls below again. Just like the clouds!
34. Draw a three-step process of convection
from daily life. Think about these:
