  1. A metal spoon placed in a pot of boiling water, with the heat transferring from the pot to the spoon through conduction. The spoon gradually becomes hot as the heat is conducted from the pot to the handle.

  2. A hairdryer blowing hot air onto wet hair, with the heat transferring through convection. The hot air from the hairdryer rises and displaces the cooler air around the wet hair, causing the water to evaporate and the hair to dry.

  3. A person standing near a bonfire and feeling the warmth on their face, with the heat transferring through radiation. The fire emits thermal radiation in the form of infrared waves, which travel through the air and directly heat the person’s face without the need for direct contact.

  4. Ice cubes melting when placed on a warm surface, with the heat transferring through conduction. The warm surface transfers its heat to the ice cubes, causing them to melt as the heat is conducted from the surface to the ice.

  5. A pot of water boiling on a stove, with the heat transferring through convection. The heat from the stove burner causes the water at the bottom of the pot to become hot and less dense, causing it to rise and be replaced by cooler water. This creates a convection current, with the heat being transferred throughout the pot.

  6. A person feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin, with the heat transferring through radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and infrared waves. When these waves reach the person’s skin, they are absorbed, causing the skin to warm up.

  7. Toast browning in a toaster, with the heat transferring through conduction. The toaster heats up and transfers its heat to the metal wires inside. The wires then conduct the heat to the bread, causing it to brown and become toasted.

  8. A fan blowing cool air on a hot summer day, with the heat transferring through convection. The fan blows air across the skin, causing the moisture on the skin to evaporate more quickly. This evaporation process cools down the skin, providing a sense of relief from the heat.

  9. A person touching a hot stove and feeling the heat on their hand, with the heat transferring through conduction. The hot stove transfers its heat directly to the person’s hand upon contact, causing the hand to feel hot.

  10. A microwave heating up food, with the heat transferring through radiation. The microwave emits electromagnetic waves, specifically microwaves, which are absorbed by the water molecules in the food. This absorption causes the water molecules to vibrate and generate heat, heating up the food.
