Identify heat transfer methods in everyday scenarios: conduction, convection, or radiation.

Let’s go through each example one by one to figure out how heat is being transferred — conduction, convection, or radiation. Remember:

- Conduction = heat moves through direct contact (like touching something hot).
- Convection = heat moves through fluids (liquids or gases) that flow — like hot air rising.
- Radiation = heat travels as waves through space — no contact needed, like sunlight warming your skin.

1. Touching a hot stove
→ You’re making direct contact with the hot surface. Heat moves from the stove into your hand.
✔ Conduction

2. Steak cooking in pan
→ The steak touches the hot pan — that’s conduction. Also, if there’s oil or fat moving around, that could be convection. But the main way the steak cooks is by touching the pan.
✔ Conduction (most direct answer; convection may also happen but isn’t primary here)

3. Sun bathing
→ You’re sitting under the sun. No contact, no fluid moving — just heat traveling through space as light/infrared rays.
✔ Radiation

4. Heating home
→ The diagram shows warm air rising and cool air sinking — that’s convection. Also, the heater might radiate some heat, and pipes conduct heat. But the main system shown is air circulating — so convection is key.
✔ Convection (also possibly radiation and conduction, but convection is most obvious in the diagram)

5. Cooking in oven
→ Ovens use heated air that circulates (convection), especially if it’s a convection oven. Also, the heating elements radiate heat, and food may touch racks (conduction). But since it says “cooking in oven” and shows fans/heaters, all three can apply. Best to list all that fit.
✔ Conduction, Convection, Radiation

6. Cook in microwave
→ Microwaves use electromagnetic waves to heat food — that’s radiation. There’s no direct contact or fluid movement causing the heating.
✔ Radiation

7. Snowman melts in sun
→ Sunlight hits the snowman — that’s radiation. Even though the snow touches the ground (conduction) and air might warm it (convection), the main cause shown is the sun.
✔ Radiation

8. Boiling pot on stove
→ Pot sits on hot burner → conduction. Water inside heats up and moves (hot water rises, cold sinks) → convection. Also, the stove may emit some radiant heat. All three can happen.
✔ Conduction, Convection, Radiation
