FINAL JEOPARDY
• Question: Provide an example to explain the three forms of heat transfer; convection, conduction, and radiation.
• Answer: Answers will vary. Conduction occurs when a hotter object is touched, convection is the circulation of a liquid or gases in which heat rises and cool sinks, and radiation is heat emitting in the form of rays from a heat source.
