Heat moves in many ways. Heat can be moved by conduction. It is moved by convection. It is moved by radiation. moves from one solid to another solid. Objects must be
for conduction to occur. Heat moves from a burner to the pan. This happens when you turn a stove on to heat up a pan. The heat in the pan then moves to the food you are cooking. The heat from the blanket moves to your body to warm you up when you cover up with an electric blanket. In both situations. There is
between two objects.

is the movement of heat through liquids and gases. The movement creates a
. One example of convection is when you boil water in a pot. The water starts to boil from the bottom and the hot water moves up to the
. Then the cooler water is pushed
. A current of
water is formed. Another example is when a space heater is used to heat a room. The air near the heater is heated and circulates the room. This causes the heat to transfer between the hot and cooler air.

is the transfer of heat energy through waves. Heat energy is given off by the sun’s rays. We can feel the heat energy given off by a campfire. Radiation only travels in
. It differs from conduction and convection. This is because
contact or current is needed for the heat to transfer. The heat waves from radiation even travels through
space.
