Let me work through this heat transfer worksheet step by step.

CONDUCTION:
This is about how heat moves through solids by particles touching each other.

1. "This is the way heat transfers through ___" - Conduction happens in solids
2. "When the particles near the heat source heat up, they get more ___" - They get more energy
3. "and start to ___ more" - They start to move more (vibrate)
4. "They ___ with the other particles" - They collide with other particles
5. "Then these particles start to move more and ___ with the other particles" - and collide again
6. "the whole object is the same ___" - the same temperature

CONVECTION:
This is about how heat moves through fluids (liquids and gases).

1. "This is the way heat transfers through ___ and ___" - Through liquids and gases
2. "They ___ more from the other particles" - They separate more (move apart)
3. "so this part becomes less ___" - less dense
4. "Because it is less dense, it ___" - it rises
5. "Cold particles move to fill the ___ that is created" - fill the space
6. "The particles heat up and ___, cool down and ___" - heat up and rise, cool down and sink
7. "heat up and ___, cool down and ___" - heat up and rise, cool down and sink
8. "This is called a convection ___" - a convection current

RADIATION:
This is about how heat travels without needing matter.

1. "This is how heat transfers without physical ___" - without physical contact
2. "It is how the ___'s energy reaches us on Earth" - the sun's energy
3. "or how we feel the heat of a ___ without touching it" - a fire

Final Answer:

Conduction:
This is the way heat transfers through solids. When the particles near the heat source heat up, they get more energy and start to move more. They collide with the other particles and pass energy to them. Then these particles start to move more and collide with the other particles ... This process continues until all the particles have the same energy and the whole object is the same temperature.

Convection:
This is the way heat transfers through liquids and gases. The particles near the heat source heat up and start to move more. They separate more from the other particles, so this part becomes less dense. Because it is less dense, it rises. Cold particles move to fill the space that is created. Then they heat up and rise too. This produces a circular movement. The particles heat up and rise, cool down and sink, heat up and rise, cool down and sink. This is called a convection current.

Radiation:
This is how heat transfers without physical contact. It is how the sun's energy reaches us on Earth or how we feel the heat of a fire without touching it for example.
