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.
