5th Grade Heat Transfer Check

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is when heat is transferred through the cycling of air or water.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is when heat is transferred through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is when heat is transferred from a far away heat source without needing a medium.

Front

Which method of heat transfer is the fastest?

Back

Conduction is the fastest method of heat transfer because it warms the object directly by touching it.

Front

What happens to water when it is heated?

Back

When water is heated, it undergoes convection, causing warmer water to rise and cooler water to sink.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

An example of conduction is burning your hand on a hot plate.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

An example of convection is boiling water in a pot.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

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

Front

How does heat travel through space?

Back

Heat travels through space by radiation.

Front

What is the role of air in convection?

Back

Air helps transfer heat by moving in cycles, allowing warm air to rise and cool air to sink.
