Conduction

Conduction

1. conduction a way heat travels it is the transfer of heat energy between substances in contact with each other

2. Conduction occurs because the particles move rapidly and bombard the other particles (chain reaction) until the substance is the same temp

3. the particles don't travel the transfer the heat from bumping into each other think about our experiment with the push pins

4. the heat only transfers in one direction

5. Transfers from a place with greater kinetic energy to places with less kinetic energy

6. Conduction is most common in solids not in gases

7. Conductors are materials that allow heat to transfer really well like metal

8. insulators are substances that do not allow heat to transfer easily they are .. plastic cork and wood
