Describe how heat is transferred by convection when a beaker of liquid is heated.

Suggested answer:

When the bottom of a liquid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler liquid. The heated part of the liquid rises to the top of the liquid. The cooler liquid at the top, being denser, sinks. A Convection Current is formed. So heat is transferred by convection.
