This week in class we learned about how heat aka thermal energy transfers from object to object and what the different ways they travel are called. If the thermal energy travels through direct contact like if you touch a pan and it's hot that is called conduction. If you see that water is boiling and rapidly moving around, that is convection. And If you go outside on a hot summer day and feel the warmth of the sun on you skin, that is radiation! Radiation is when heat travels through electromagnetic waves in the air.
For my S&EP this week, we constructed models by making diagrams on paper about the three types of heat transfer. This helped me understand how heat transferred because if I write down, I have to know the facts very well.
