2. 6.1 Conduction6.1 Conduction
1. Describe experiments to demonstrate the
properties of good and bad conductors of heat.
2. Explain heat transfer in solids in terms of
molecular motion.

3. 6.2 Convection6.2 Convection
1. Recognise convection as the main method of
heat transfer in fluids.
2. Relate convection in fluids to density changes.
3. Describe experiments to illustrate convection in
liquids and gases.

4. 6.3 Radiation6.3 Radiation
1. Recognise radiation as the method of heat
transfer that does not require a medium to travel
through.
2. Identify infra-red radiation as the part of the
electromagnetic spectrum often involved in heat
transfer by radiation.
3. Describe experiments to show the properties of
good & bad emitters and good & bad absorbers of
infra-red radiation.
