Heat Transfer
Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place.
Hot objects in a cooler room will cool to room temperature.
Cold objects in a warmer room will heat up to room temperature.

Think about the following…
If a cup of coffee and a red popsicle were left on the table in this room what would happen to them? Why?
The cup of coffee will cool until it reaches room temperature. The popsicle will melt and then the liquid will warm to room temperature.

4. Heat Transfers in three ways:
Conduction
Convection
Radiation

5. Conduction
The teacher will state that the picture represents conduction: the pancakes are receiving direct heat from the skillet.

6. Conduction Conduction: Exchange of heat by direct contact
Air warmed on the pavement
Making popcorn on the stove
Meat on a frying pan
The teacher can use this slide to assist students, if needed, in completing the chart in slide 7

7. Convection
The teacher will explain the mobility of the particles in the transfer of heat. Hot water rises and cold water sinks—or in the case of lava lamps, the hot “lava” rises from the bottom and falls from the top as it cools.

8. Convection
Convection:
Transfer of heat in liquids and gasses through rising and falling currents
Air near the ceiling is warmer than air near the floor
Some large birds ride rising air currents when they fly
Water molecules rising and falling as a kettle boils
The teacher can show this slide to assist the students will completing the chart in slide 7.

9. Radiation
The teacher can describe radiation as a means of heat transfer via electromagnetic radiation, which does not require a physical medium. The sun warms the earth through radiation of its electromagnetic energy, which includes infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet light.

10. Radiation Radiation: Transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves
A hamburger staying warm under a glowing heat bulb
Toasting a marshmallow by a campfire
Getting a sunburn after laying out in the sun

For each example below, determine if it is conduction, convection or radiation. 1. Hot chocolate is stirred with a spoon and the spoon gets hot. 2. The Sun warms your skin on a cold day. 3. You burn your hand by touching a hot stove. 4. You warm your feet in front of a fire.

12. For each example below, determine if it is conduction, convection or radiation. 5. Hot air balloon rises The air near the ceiling in a room is warmer than the air near the floor. 7. The material in a lava lamp rises and falls. 8. The sidewalk increases in temperature on a sunny day. 9. The sidewalk burns your bare feet in the summer time.
