Energy and Heat Mo8-L2a: How is Thermal Energy Transferred?
Lesson 2
Conduction
In this topic, you will learn the following
lessons: the transfer of thermal energy due to collisions
between particles.
Mo.8 – L2a: How is Thermal Energy Transferred?
Mo.8 – L2b: What are Thermal Conductors and
Insulators?
Mo8-L2a How is Thermal Energy Transferred?
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. What are the three points of the kinetic molecular
theory?
2. In what three ways is thermal energy transferred?
Radiation
Vocabulary A-Z the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic
waves.
Let us learn some vocabulary
Temperature
the measure of the average kinetic energy of the
particles in a material.
Convection
the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of
particles from one part of a material to another.
Heat
the movement of thermal energy from a region of
higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
