Energy Transfers all around us

Conduction, Convection and Radiation are how energy is transferred all around us.  We often feel this transfer as "Heat" and notice the temperature difference.  Remember energy flows from areas of High kinetic energy (high temperature) to areas of Low kinetic energy (low temperature) -just like when you're camping and you forgot your sleeping pad... your heat is transferred to the ground and you are left feeling cold!


YOUR ASSIGNMENT due next class (Sci10-02 Wednesday, Sci10-04 Thursday) is to think of, and write down two unique examples for each form of energy transfer.  Be specific and explain WHY your example represents either conduction, convection or radiation
