By conduction. This means that atoms of the metal become more energetic when heated, and they transfer this energy from atom to atom, so it travels along the bar from the hot end to the cooler end

Why can heat travel through metal but not wood?
Because metal is a conductor
What is the transfer of heat from warm to cold areas called?
If you heat one end of a metal bar then the heat passes along the bar by a process known as conduction.
What M is a type of material that lets heat flow through it?
metal
Why is radiation different to conduction and convection?
because, RADIATION occurs only in vaccum.. It does not require a medium to travel... where as conduction and convection require medium to travel. CONDUCTION: heat transfer between homogenous molecules(i.e.) flow of heat inside a body from one point to another. CONVECTION: heat transfer between two mediums(i.e) flow of heat from a metal to air surrounding the metal.
How are convection and conduction different from radiation?
Both convection and conduction heat transfer need a medium (for example air particles, water, metal) through which to travel along with a temperature gradient within the medium. Radiation heat transfer does not need a medium through which to travel, it actually occurs most effectively in a perfect vacuum environment. Radiation is not just the heat from the sun, although the sun does in fact radiate heat. Everything around you is currently radiating heat as well (for example humans, computers, furniture, books, food, etc.)

How Heat travels along a metal rod this way?
It travels by conduction.
What scientific name is given to materials that allow heat to travel along them?
Materials that allow heat to travel along them are known as conductors. Conductors have high thermal conductivity, allowing heat to pass through them easily.

Why are metals used to make pans and cake tins?
Metal is a heat conductor so the heat will travel throughout the pan. I think! x
How long it takes heat to travel one meter?
How fast heat travels depends upon which method it uses to travel (conduction/ convection/radiation) and what it is travelling through (metal/air/water etc.). heat travels much more quickly through metal because metals are good thermal conductors.
What M is a type of material that lets heat flow through it?
metal
How does heat travel through metal?
the answer is that it travels by conduction. thank you.
Why are the sides of the saucepan made out of steel?
So that the heat from the fire or hob that is underneath it can heat the object inside as metal is a conductor.
Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen along with heat and light. what are the reactants in this chemical reaction?
Sodium metal and water
Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas along with heat and light. What are the reactants in this chemical reaction?
