Lesson 15: Thermal energy transfer
Ways heat is transferred
•
Conduction
•
Radiation
•
Convection
Insulator - object that does not allow heat to pass through
Thermal Radiation
Transfer of heat without objects coming into contact w/ each other, or the use of a medium.
eg. energy of sun touching our skin.
