1. IPC Notes: Heat Transfer

2. Conduction – the transfer of heat by direct contact of particles

4. Thermal conductors – materials that conduct heat easily ex) metals

5. Comparison of some thermal conductors:

6. Thermal insulators – materials that conduct heat poorly ex) plastic, wood, rubber & glass

7. Convection – transfer of heat by the actual motion of a fluid in the form of currents warm fluids rise & cooler fluids sink

10. Radiation – transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves

12. Conduction, Convection or Radiation
Identify the following as either conduction, convection or radiation: The sun warms your skin Radiation

13. Conduction, Convection or Radiation
Identify the following as either conduction, convection or radiation: A cold front makes the outside temperature drop Convection

14. Conduction, Convection or Radiation
Identify the following as either conduction, convection or radiation: Warm air circulates inside a house during the winter Convection

15. Conduction, Convection or Radiation
Identify the following as either conduction, convection or radiation: A child burns his hand after touching a hot stove Conduction

16. Conduction, Convection or Radiation
Identify the following as either conduction, convection or radiation: A seatbelt burns your hand on a hot summer day Conduction

17. Conduction, Convection or Radiation
