Conduction, Convection, and Radiation Worksheet Name: _____________________

Read the example for Conduction and fill in the sections for Convection and Radiation.CONDUCTION Example/Non Example and ExplanationWrite your definition of conduction:

Egg cooking in a hot pan.

What is happening? When a raw egg begins to fry as it hits a heated frying pan, energy from the pan moves to the egg and cooks it.

Why is this conduction? Example: Heat is transferred through solids from one particle to another particle or from the pan to the egg.

Why is this not an example of convection?

Non Example: It is not convection because heat is not transferred through a fluid (gas or liquid).

Why is this not an example radiation?

Non Example: It is not radiation because heat is not transferred through empty space.

CONVECTION Example/Non Example and Explanation – Complete this sectionWrite your definition of convection:

Hot sand heats the airWhat is happening?

Why is this convection? Example:

Why is this not an example of conduction?

Non Example:

Why is this not an example radiation?

Non Example:

RADIATION Example/Non Example and Explanation - Complete this sectionWrite your definition of radiation:

Teriburger grilling over charcoal flame

What is happening?

Why is this radiation? Example:

Why is this not an example of conduction?

Non Example:

Why is this not an example of convection?

Non Example:

Fact: The transfer of heat is always from warmer objects to cooler objects!
