This document discusses heat transfer and the three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. It defines heat and temperature and explains the difference between the two. Conduction is described as the transfer of heat through direct physical contact between objects. Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids like liquids or gases. Radiation is defined as the transmission of heat through empty space via electromagnetic waves, with examples like the warmth from the sun or a campfire. Students are assigned to write a short story using 5 or more sentences about a time they have used radiation, either from their own experience or imagination.
