5.6.2 DESCRIBE WAYS THAT HEAT CAN BE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE OBJECT TO ANOTHER

Go to the following resources. Answer the bullet point questions below!

Resource 1: Energy Quest Website <http://energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter01.html>

What are some examples of energy transformation?

What other information can you gain from this reading?
conduction
Radiation
convection
kenetic
metic

What is basic information you can tell me about heat energy?

boil hot water it transfers through the burnner
running hot water makes energy
heating soup makes energy
like the hot ground on your feet makes energy from the sun

Resource 2: Heat Transfer Interactive <http://www.wisconline.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=SCE304>

Define the three basic types of heat energy transfer and give an example of
each
heating and cooking
moving energy is called kinetic
energy found in diffrent forms
solar energy for hot water to bake
Types

Definition

Example

Conduction

when heat and elcetricity transeferd

through a substens

heat a tin can over a burnner and the

flame will become radition.

Radiation

it moves energy particles and

energy waves around

hot coals giving off energy and

the radiation takes the energy

and deposits it.

Convection

rises cold and warm air and

boiling water through a burner

can transfer energy
