Conduction, Convection & Radiation 

 
Things  get  hot  and  things get cold, that much we know. The question is: why? What is happening to 
the material that is causing this change in temperature? 
  
You  have  now  learned  about  conduction,  convection and radiation. Using your notes as a reference 
(and  pages  226  &  229-230  in  the  textbook,  if  necessary),  your  task  is  to  create  a  ​poster  or 
brochure​ that explains these concepts. Your project ​needs to include​ the following items: 
 
 

❒  A definition of each concept  2 marks each, 6 marks total 

❒ A colourful example showing the particle 

  behaviour in each concept 
4 marks each, 12 marks total 

❒ A colourful example of each concept 

  (everyday use) 
4 marks each, 12 marks total 

❒ Grammar convection (spelling, 

  punctuation, etc.) 
5 marks 

❒ Overall impression (use of space, use of 

  colour, layout of poster, etc.) 
5 marks
