Heat Transfer

CBC Grade 5 Science and Technology — Heat Transfer

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this topic, a learner should be able to:

• Demonstrate the three modes of heat transfer
• Classify materials as good or poor conductors of heat
• Explain real-life uses of heat transfer
• Acknowledge safety precautions when handling heat

Summary

Heat moves from hotter to cooler in three ways: conduction (contact), convection (moving liquid/gas), and radiation (waves, no contact needed).
