Study Notes
Heat Energy
- Heat Transfer Methods: Conduction, convection, radiation
- Conduction: Transfer of heat between objects in direct contact
- Convection: Transfer of heat in liquids or gases (through movement of fluids)
- Radiation: Transfer of heat through empty space (e.g., sunlight)
Heat Energy Examples
- Campfire: Radiation
- Air Fryer: Convection
- Pan Boiling Water: Convection
- Egg Frying: Conduction
- Sunshine on Beach: Radiation
- Ironing Clothing: Conduction
Temperature
- Temperature: Measure of average kinetic energy of particles in a substance
- Example of fast moving particles (high temperature): Campfire
- Thermal energy: The flow of heat energy.
Materials
- Conductor: Material that easily transfers heat (e.g., metal)
- Insulator: Material that does not easily transfer heat (e.g., Styrofoam)
Other Terms
- Particles: Smallest pieces of matter
- Heat: Transfer of thermal energy
- Warm air travels to cooler air: Convection (process)
