explanation to support your answer. Post the picture and your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.
Picture Kind of heat transfer Brief explanation
Coffee Convection occurs when warmer air or
liquid lies under a cooler
layer. This is what happens
in the coffee cup: the
coffee on top is cooled by
evaporation.

Oven Radiation when you're heating a solid

substance, this heat
energy is transferred
throughout the food.

Heated pan handle Conduction the heat transfer from the

pan to the pan handle by
direct contact.

Rice Cooking Conduction Rice grains in the bottom of

the pot are heated by
conduction as a result of the
fire's heat. After a while, heat
gradually spreads from one
grain to the next and
eventually to every location.

Boiled Water Convection It is the method of heat

transmission that occurs
when water boils. the
process of heat
transferring through fluid.
