This document discusses different concepts relating to heat and temperature. It defines thermal energy as the kinetic energy resulting from the random motion of atoms and molecules. Heat is defined as a transfer of energy between systems or objects due to a temperature difference. The document discusses three main ways heat can be transferred: conduction through direct contact between objects, convection through fluid motion, and radiation through electromagnetic waves. It also discusses temperature as a measure of particle kinetic energy and introduces different thermometric scales like Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin that are used to measure temperature.
8. Conduction
• Conduction occurs when two
things at different
temperatures touch each
other and energy directly
transfers from the material in
the hotter object to the
material in the colder object
at the point of contact. 8
9. Conduction
• During conduction, heat is
transferred through the
vibration of molecules in a
substance. As something
gets warmer, it begins to
increase the vibration and
movement of the molecules
that it consists of.

14. Convection
•Transfer of heat by mass
motion of a fluid such as
air or water when the
heated fluid is caused to
move away from the
source of heat, carrying
energy with it. 14
