The movement of heat is from… Hot Cold
Heat is transferred three ways… Conduction Convection Radiation
The first form of heat transfer is… Conduction

What stops heat transfer? An Insulator.
The second form of heat transfer is… Convection
Hot rises, cold falls creating currents. “Older Than Dirt” WebQuest Think Energy (UK)
The third form of heat transfer is… Radiation
What happens when light hits an object? The light is reflected off the object.
We see things because of reflected light. We see red, because red light is reflected; blue because blue is reflected; white because all light is reflected.
The light that hits an object is called the angle of incidence. The light that bounces off the object is called the angle of reflection.
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection Molecular Expressions
When light passes thru transparent objects (water, glass, etc.), the light is refracted (bent).
When light passes thru water, it’s refracted. http://www.nature.com
When light travels thru a prism, the refraction forms the spectrum. DiscoveryEducation Clipart
The spectrum is the colors of the rainbow… DiscoveryEducation Clipart
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet (ROY G. BIV). DiscoveryEducation Clipart
If the object is translucent, light is diffused as it passes through it. Designbuild-Network.com
If the object is opaque, the light will not pass thru the object and is reflected.
A property of sound is pitch. Pitch is how high or low a sound is.
How much energy is used determines the volume (how loud) of the sound.
