WAYS OF HEAT
TRANSFER
 Conduction
is a method of heat transfer in solids.
When particles in solids are heated,
heat travels to the nearest particles. The
transfer of heat is from atom to another.
 Convection
is a method of heat transfer by the
movement of liquids (also of gases) in
which the warmer portions rise and the
colder portions sink.
• Why do we need to cover the pot when we

• How do you know if you have fever?
• How does thermometer works?

measure temperature. It has a substance that
expands when heated and contracts when
cooled.)
 Radiation
is the transfer of heat energy through air by
electromagnetic waves. It does not involve
direct physical contact and movement of matter
between two bodies.
1. What do we feel if all the lights in our room
