6th Grade_ Thermal Energy Transfer & EMS

Front

What are the three types of heat transfer?

Back

Conduction, Convection, Radiation.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through empty space in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Front

How do particles behave when they are heated?

Back

As particles heat up, they gain energy and move faster.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

An example of conduction is touching a hot stove and feeling the heat transfer to your hand.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

An example of convection is warm air rising and cool air sinking in a room.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

An example of radiation is feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin.

Front

What type of electromagnetic wave do humans emit as heat?

Back

Humans emit infrared light as heat energy.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it absorbs thermal energy?

Back

The temperature of the substance increases.
