Heat Transfer Literacy

You touch a shopping cart in the grocery store parking lot. What type of heat transfer is happening between your hand and the handle?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Thermal Equilibrium

How does thermal energy move?

• Thermal energy moves back and forth between substances until they are the same temperature.

• Thermal energy does not transfer between substances.

• Thermal energy moves from the cooler substance to the warmer substance.

• Thermal energy moves from the warmer substance to the cooler substance.
