- Oh. Well that's cool, but what am I going to do about my drink now that it's all warm?
- Wow, thanks! I will definitely keep that in mind for next time! I have to go now, but thanks for your help!
- Well I can't help you now that it's already melted, but next time I would suggest putting it in an insulated container like mine. it is made of steel which is why it doesn't allow heat energy to pass through it well and keeps my drinks cold or hot all day!
- No problem!
- The metal of the car door handle got so hot because most metals are conductors. Conductors are materials that allow heat energy to move through them efficiently.
- That's because of conduction! Conduction is he transfer of heat through a solid material by direct contact of particles and because the car door handle was already hot because of radiation, when you went to go touch it, it almost burned you.
- Oh that makes sense. Thank you!
- Oh wow! I didn't know that! Why did the metal on the car door handle get so hot but the plastic on the car didn't?
- Time to go home and eat lunch! Ow! Why did my car door handle almost just burn me when I touched it!?
- Oh wow! There are so many different types of heat transfer that I didn't even know about happening all around me! Are there any more?
- Time to make some pasta for lunch! Hmmm, but after learning about conduction and radiation, I wonder which one makes water boil.
- That would be because of convection, not radiation or conduction! Convection is the transfer of heat in a fluid caused when hotter, less dense fluids rise and cooler, more dense fluids sink.
- Nope! Convection, conduction, and radiation are the only types of heat transfer!
