heat transfer by conduction (in
solid matters), convection (in
liquid and gaseous matters) and
radiation
• Identify matter classified as
conductor and insulator of heat

The Three Processes of Heat
Flow :
 Conduction
 Convection
 Radiation
Conduction

Conduction is a
way of transferring
heat through the
contact of objects.
 Conductors of Heat
 Examples:
 Insulators of Heat
 Examples:
Convection In Liquid
Convection is heat transfer through
a fluid with the hotter molecules
rising and the cooler ones sinking.
Convection in a Gas
 Radiation
Radiation is heat
transfer through space.

The earth is heated by

radiation from the sun.
