2. Concept Conduction: The transfer of heat through
matter by molecular activity.
Convection: The transfer of heat by mass movement or circulation within a substance.
Radiation: The heat-transfer mechanism by which solar energy reached our planet
Beginning course details and/or books/materials needed for a class/project.

3. Heat Transfer
A schedule design for optional periods of time/objectives.

4. Application of Convection
CONVECTION CELLS
In fluid dynamics, it is the phenomenon that occurs when density differences exist within a body of liquid or gas.
Circular pattern created by the rising of warmed fluid and the sinking of the cooled fluid
Important process of convection in the air, water, or even the solid earth

5. Application of Convection
Convection cells establish themselves due to the pressure gradient with latitude and altitude. The flow of air due to pressure differences generates winds.
This heat-driven motion of air moves heat around in the atmosphere. It is also responsible for making the wind blow.

6. Factors Affecting Radiation
Albedo
The fraction of the total radiation that is reflected by a surface.
Important during the spring and summer to prevent sea ice from melting
Infrared Radiation
portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
It can be detected as a sensation of warmth on the skin
Relative vocabulary list.

7. Factors Affecting Radiation
Specific Heat
Amount of energy to raise1 gram of a substance
Specific heat water requires a great deal more heat to raise its temperature the same amount as an equal quantity of land.
Thermals
Column of rising air in the lower altitudes of Earth’s atmosphere.
Created by the uneven heating of Earth's surface from solar radiation
Can be found at urban areas, and roadways
Relative vocabulary list.

8. Why does Hot air rise and Cold air sink?
Temperature
The average kinetic energy of a material’s atoms or molecules.
Present while temperature is the intensity or the degree of hotness.
Kinetic Energy
Energy of motion. Atoms and molecules that are constantly in motion possesses kinetic energy
Density
Changes in Density moves matter
Process is called Convection
Relative vocabulary list.

9. Why does Hot air rise and Cold air sink?
On, Earth air near the ground is warmer than in the air where it is colder
Hot air is lighter than cold air
