    Thermal energy transfers from hot objects to cold objects through conduction. The document describes an experiment where students measure the temperatures of hot and cold water and place their hands in each. They feel hot when touching the hot water as thermal energy transfers from the water to their hands, and cold when touching the cold water as thermal energy transfers from their hands to the water. Thermal energy moves from objects at higher temperatures to those at lower temperatures until thermal equilibrium is reached.

    1. Fill up one cup with hot 2. Use a thermometer to 3. Put your fingers on one
    water and one with cold measure the temperatures hand in the cold water and
    water of the different water. the other fingers in the hot
    water. Notice how the
    water feels

    Useful Information:
    Heat is energy called thermal energy. This energy moves from a hot object to a colder object. For example, your hands
    temperature is on average around 36°C, whereas the cold water is around 10 °C. The heat energy from your hand
    moves to the water in the cup. This is heat transferring is called conduction. Conduction is particles hitting each other
    creating thermal energy. Conduction can only happen when two materials touch each other.

    If you touch cold water, your fingers feel cold, because your body heat is being transferred to the cold water. If you
    touch the hot water, you feel hot, because the heat energy from the hot water is being transferred to your hand.
