Olga M. Salgado 3rd Grade Heat & Energy
Electricity is a form of energy that people produce from the active energy of wind and moving water and the stored energy in oil and coal.
Evaporation is the changing of a liquid into gas. Boiling water evaporates.
Conduction is when there is movement of thermal energy from one thing to another. Example: Spoon placed in hot water- *toast placed in a toaster
Convection occurs when thermal energy is moved from one place to another in moving liquids and gases. Example: A heating fan can warm up the cold air in a room.
Radiation occurs when thermal energy moves without touching anything. Example: Sun warms you even though you are not touching it.
Expands: When something expands it gets bigger when it gets hotter. Bridge-pavement
