Conduction, Convection, Radiation Thinking Further
Conduction, convection and radiation are all occurring in the scenes below of a man
enjoying a night by the fire. Label each picture as either conduction, convection or
radiation and describe how the picture shows each type of heat transfer.
Create a scene similar to the one above that shows heat transfer by conduction,
convection and radiation all happening. Label and explain conduction, convection
and radiation in the scene. Use the back of this paper if needed.

TEACHER DIRECTIONS
I use this to practice or assess student’s understanding of the
vocabulary: Conduction, Convection and Radiation.
1. Hand out the BLANK SORT sheet.
2. Have students cut out and determine if each example is
one of Conduction, Convection or Radiation.
3. There are two versions of this activity:
A.
B.
One includes the definitions of the vocabulary and students
only sort the picture/examples.
In the 2nd has students sort the definitions of the vocabulary as
well as the picture/ examples
3. Once students have sorted, check their answers and then
they can glue! (Once a few students have finished I have them
help me check).
THINKING FURTHER:
For students who are early finishers or who need an extra
challenge- this activity is perfect. First they determine what
type of heat transfer a set of scenes is describing, then they
come up with their own!
NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY as a drag and drop sort activity!
