Heat on the move...

Today the 3/4F students observed some demonstrations of heat moving in three different ways, through conduction, radiation (radiant heat) and convection. At the end the children were even able to test the movement of heat from their hands to chocolate. I'll let them explain that one! Yum! Here are some photos.

 
 Melting butter on metal - conduction.
 
 
Candle moving a spiral - convection
 
 
Heat radiating from a lamp - radiation.
