About the Heat Transfer word search

CONDUCTION passes THERMAL ENERGY through touch, quickly through a CONDUCTOR like METAL and slowly through an INSULATOR. CONVECTION moves heat in a CURRENT of warm liquid or gas. RADIATION, such as SUNLIGHT and INFRARED, needs no contact at all. TEMPERATURE measures the KINETIC energy of the PARTICLES, and the flow stops at thermal EQUILIBRIUM. The word list runs medium and suits students from about 10 up. More in the science word searches and the energy word search.
