Lab: Energy Transfer

Question 140723 • CMS Summer 2026 Earth and Environmental Science CREDIT RECOVERY

Sample Response: In the lab, I conducted three experiments. In each experiment, energy in the form of heat was transferred in a different way. Energy can be transferred through a material like aluminum foil through conduction. In water, energy is transferred through convection. Energy can travel from the light bulb to the paper through radiation. I learned that conduction can move energy between Earth’s materials, convection can transfer heat through Earth’s waters, and radiation can transfer he

Answer
A
Conduction transfers heat between two materials that are touching, such as foil and chocolate pieces, or particles, such as the atoms in foil.
B
Convection allows heat to be transferred in liquids, like water.
C
Radiation transfers heat from a light bulb to paper.
D
Conduction, convection, and radiation move energy from the Sun to Earth and throughout Earth.
