Energy can betransferred through conduction, convection and radiation.

Radiation is the transfer of energy WITHOUT direct contact: example- the sun burning your skin.


Conduction is the transfer of energy through DIRECT contact: example- touching a hot pot on the stove.


Convection is when the heat rises into the air. This heat cools off as it gets further from the earth. The cooled molecules then fall back down to the earth because they are lessdense. This process repeats itself over and over: example-hot air balloon.

What are the three different ways to transfer heat energy?

The three main ways to transfer heat energy are conduction (direct contact between materials), convection (transfer through a fluid like air or water), and radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves). Each method plays a role in how heat moves through and between objects.
