The document explains the conduction of heat, describing how heat moves from hot to cold areas primarily through conduction in solids, particularly metals, and through other methods such as infrared radiation and convection. It highlights that metals are good conductors due to free electrons that facilitate heat transfer, while insulators like polystyrene help to reduce heat movement. Overall, the document covers the fundamental principles of heat transfer mechanisms.

1. Conduction of Heat

2. Movement of Heat Energy
Heat moves from hot places to cold places by….
Infra -red radiation
Conduction through solids
Convection through liquids and gasses
Evaporation

3. Movement of Heat by Conduction
Conduction takes place in solids more in Metals.

4. Solids
In a Solid Particles are very close to each other.
No Gaps between them
Solids cant move but they can vibrate around a fixed
point.

5. Conduction is when...

6. Metals are a good Conductors because they are solids and have free
electron.The electrons can move and carry the heat to others

7. Insulators
Insulators are the opposite to Conductors they help reduce heat movement by
conduction.
