HEAT TRANSFER
In our environment, heat transfer always moves from the ______________
object to the ____________ object. Heat transfers to and through some
materials better than others. Heat moves in three different ways.
Experiment #1
Materials: Bowl of hot water, metal spoon, wooden spoon, plastic spoon
Question: What do you think will happen to the temperature of the
different spoons after you sink them in hot water?
Hypothesis: (If.thenbecause)
Put all four spoons into the hot water at once. Try to arrange them so that they arent
touching each other.
After a minute or two, feel the difference in temperature in each spoon.
Objects that do not allow heat to flow through them easily are called insulators. What
spoon(s) didnt feel as hot after soaking them in hot water?
Where else might you see this heat transfer in real life?
