Liquid

Water is a liquid, what are some other liquids that you know?

​

Gas

Water vapour is the gas state of water, what are some other gasses that you know?

​

Solid

Ice is the solid state of water, what are some other solids that you know?

​

Radiation

Radiation is when heat energy is transferred directly from the source in the form of waves, rays and particles. Can you think of any examples of heat energy that transfers heat through radiation?

​

Convection

Convection is the process of heat transfer that creates a circular motion of molecules as warmer molecules rise, and colder molecules drop. Can you think of any examples of heat energy that transfers heat through convection?

​

Conduction

Conduction relies on direct connections for transferring heat. Can you think of any examples of heat energy that transfers heat through conduction?

​

Equilibrium

When heat is continually transferred until items of different temperatures have the same temperature. Can you think of any examples where we see equilibrium in our every day lives?

​

Types of Heat Energy

Heat energy is all around us. Can you think of any other examples of heat energy (other than fire)?

​

Fire

Fire has been used throughout history, as well as in our daily lives for its heat energy. Can you think of any other ways fire is used in our lives or in history?
