Bill Nye,..... The science guy! We watch his videos all the time in scince c lass, they are a little cheesey though. try www.billnye.com or www.billnyethescienceguy.com or www.thescienceguy.com...... maybe? i am just guessing.

Transfer of Heat by Conduction, Convection, Radiation

Conduction is a consequence of the kinetic behavior of matter. Faster vibrating particles collide with less energetic neighbors and transfer some of their kinetic energy to the slower moving particle.

Through successive molecular collisions energy travels through a material without the average position of the particles being changed. There must be a temperature differential (one end of some object at a higher temperature than the other) for heat to be conducted.

Gases are poor conductors of heat (compared to liquids and solids) because the molecules are relatively far apart and collisions are infrequent.

Metals have the greatest ability to conduct heat (for the same reason as their high electrical conductivity). This is due to a significant number of electrons being able to move about freely instead of being bound permanently to particular atoms.

Thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat.

Example: wood and metal

Convection involves the actual motion of a hot fluid from one place to another, displacing a colder fluid in its path and setting up a convection current. Convection is the chief mechanism of heat transfer in fluids.

Natural convection occurs when the buoyancy of heated fluids leads to motion. Heated fluids (gas or liquid) expand and becomes less dense than surrounding cooler fluids. It then rises.

Radiation is defined as the energy that is transmitted by electromagnetic waves and requires no material medium for passage.

All objects radiate electromagnetic waves with the higher the temperature of an object the shorter the predominating wavelength of its radiation.
