conduction - the transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler one by direct contact, conductor - a material that allows heat to flow through it easily; metals are good conductors of heat, convection - the transfer of heat by the flow of a fluid from a warmer area to a cooler area, convection current - a circular movement of a fluid caused by differences in temperature and density, energy transfer - the movement of energy from one object to another, energy transformation - the conversion of energy from one type to another, fluid - a substance that is able to flow; all liquids and gases are fluids, heat - thermal energy that is transferred from one substance to another, heat transfer - the movement of heat from an object with higher thermal energy to an object with lower thermal energy; conduction, convection and radiation are different types of heat transfer, insulator - a material that doesn't allow heat to flow through it easily; plastics, air, wood and cloth are good insulators, kinetic energy - the energy a moving object has because of its motion, thermal energy - the type of energy that relates to heat; hotter objects have more thermal energy than colder objects,
