What is conduction?
isone of the fundamental
mechanisms of heat transfer,
where thermal energy is
transmitted through direct
contact between materials
without the involvement of any
bulk motion of the medium.
8.
• Thermal Conductorsare the
materials that allow heat to
transfer easily (iron, aluminum,
copper)
• Thermal Insulators are materials
that are considered poor conductors
Conduction in
Everyday Life
HeatingSystems
Radiators and other
heating elements rely on
conduction to transfer
heat from the source to
the surrounding air.
Convection Current
is thecontinuous movement of a fluid (liquid or
gas) caused by differences in temperature and
density.
• A fluid is heated it becomes less dense it
→ →
rises.
• As it rises, it cools becomes denser it sinks.
→ →
• This rising and sinking creates a circular motion
called a convection current.

What is
radiation?
Radiation -is the transfer
of heat energy through
space by electromagnetic
radiation.
- Does not require a
medium.

C. Through electromagnetic waves
25.
4. Which observationshows that heat transfer
has occurred during the experiment?
A. The material floats
B. The material changes color
C. The material produces sound
D. The material becomes warmer
after contact with hot water

5. Maria ishelping her family cook dinner. She
notices that the pot has a metal body but plastic
handles. While cooking, the pot becomes very
hot, but the handles stay cool enough to hold. At
the same time, steam rises from the boiling
water inside the pot.
27.
5. Why isthe pot designed with different
materials for the body and the handles?
A. Plastic makes the pot lighter
B. Plastic absorbs more heat than metal
C. Metal changes color faster than plastic
D. Metal allows heat to transfer quickly while
plastic reduces heat transfer to protect hands
