Heat Practice

This document provides a practice worksheet on heat transfer where students must identify whether conduction, convection, or radiation is occurring in 20 scenarios. The key identifies the type of heat transfer taking place in each scenario, such as conduction occurring when a spoon in hot soup gets warmer or convection when hot air rises in a hot air balloon.
