What Material Conducts Heat Best?

Eureka! Conduction

CONDUCTION

Conduction is the process that
moves energy from one object to
another when they are touching
physically.
If you have ever picked up a bowl
of hot soup, you have experienced
conduction.
Conduction occurs any time that
objects at different temperatures
come into contact with each other.

CONDUCTION

The average kinetic energy of particles in the warmer object
is greater than that of the particles in the cooler object.
When particles of the objects collide, some of the kinetic
energy of the particles in the warmer object is transferred to
the cooler object. As long as the objects are in contact,
conduction continues until the temperatures of the objects
are equal.
