SPI 0507.10.2 Use data from an investigation to determine the method by which heat energy is transferred from one object or material to another.
Activity 1 - Glue this illustration into Science Notebooks
Conduction, Convection, and Radiation
Activity 2 - Create a three tabbed graphic organizer on Heat Flow using this information.
Conduction
- Heat travels along a substance from molecule to molecule (between two materials that touch each other)
- Good conductors (silver, copper, gold)
- Poor conductors ( glass, paper, Styrofoam)
Examples
- water heating on an electric stove
- hot sand touching your feet
- touching a stove and being burned
- ice cooling down your hand
- boiling water by thrusting a red-hot piece of iron into it
Convection
transfer of energy as it is carried through a liquid or gas
heat transfer by a circulation of rising warm air (less dense) and sinking cooler air (denser).
“Hot air rises” the more dense air sinks forcing the less dense air upward
Examples
macaroni rising and falling in a pot of heated water
heat rising from a chimney
an old-fashioned radiator (creates a convection cell in a room by emitting warm air at the top and drawing in cool air at the bottom)
Radiation
- This carries energy from the hot object and causes it to cool down.
- the movement of heat in a wave-like motion through an empty space
Examples
- sunlight
- heat from toaster
- heat from a light bulb
- heat from a fire
- heat from anything else which is warmer than its surroundings.
