Question
Answer
The transfer of heat by direct contact between particles is called   conduction  
🗑
The transfer of heat into liquids and gases through currents is called   convection  
🗑
The transfer of heat by infrared waves is called   radiation  
🗑
A metal spoon gets hot in boiling water is an example of   conduction  
🗑
A egg on a frying pan sizzles when it cooks is an example of   conduction  
🗑
An ice cube in a hand begins to melt is an example of   conduction  
🗑
A metal cup gets hot when boiling water is poured in it   conduction  
🗑
When cool air sinks to the ground on a warm night is an example of   convection  
🗑
When air is warmer near the ceiling than the floor is an example of   convection  
🗑
When toes are warmer in front of a space heater is an example of   radiation  
🗑
When the sun melts a icy lawn is an example of   radiation  
🗑
Is the sun the source of all of our energy   yes  
🗑
What are the three types of heat transfers   conduction,convection and radiation  
🗑
Radiation is the transfer of heat by   infrared waves  
🗑
Conduction transfers heat by   direct contact
