HEAT: THE INVISIBLE FORCE THAT MOVES US

Heat transfer is a significant concept in physics, influencing energy movement in matter, from a frying pan to climate
patterns. In this unit, we learned about the types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. By observing
thermal energy transfer to different conductors, we found that conductors with more free electrons had higher thermal साथ �मलकर चलगे Students look at
