Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Heat Energy. Energy is what makes things happen. All materials are made of tiny particles called molecules. Molecules are always moving. Heat is the energy given off by molecules moving. The amount of heat depends on how fast the molecules move.

  1. Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

  2. Heat Energy • Energy is what makes things happen. • All materials are made of tiny particles called molecules. • Molecules are always moving. • Heat is the energy given off by molecules moving. • The amount of heat depends on how fast the molecules move. • As the molecules move faster, they take up more space and make the object expand.

  3. Heat Transfer • Heat can be transferred from one object to another in 3 different ways: • Conduction • Convection • Radiation

  4. How Heat Is Transferred

  5. Conduction • Heat traveling through solids. • Two objects must touch or have direct contact. • As molecules heat up they move faster and expand. • When you touch one hot surface to another, the hot molecules bump into the other molecules which makes them start to move faster. • An object gets hotter from the movement of the molecules. • All solid objects conduct heat, some are better conductors than others. • Metals are good conductors.

  6. Examples of ConductionList three examples.

  7. Convection • Heat traveling through liquids or gases • As molecules heat up, the heat makes the molecules move more rapidly and expand. • Creates currents in liquids or gases – hot air rises and cold air sinks. • Uneven heating of our ocean creates ocean currents. • Uneven heating of our atmosphere produces huge convection wind currents. • Scientists use global and local wind patterns to predict weather.

  8. Examples of Convection List two examples.

  9. Radiation • Release of invisible heat energy waves from the sun or fire. • No movement of molecules to transfer heat. • Feel warm without touch – heat radiates. • Radiators got their name from this type of heat. • When the radiant energy from the sun hits the earth, the earth soaks up the energy and changes it into heat.

  10. Examples of Radiation List two examples.

  11. Balance • Hot objects will transfer heat to cold objects until they reach a state of balance. • Balance happens when the temperatures of both objects are the same. • The fast moving molecules mix with the slow moving molecules until they are all mixed and balanced.

  12. Methods of Heat Transfer Conduction • Heat traveling through solids. • Two objects must touch Convection • Heat traveling through liquids or gases Radiation Release of invisible heat energy waves from the sun or fire. No movement of molecules
