What are the three ways heat can be transfered?

The three ways heat can be transfered is conduction,convection,and radiation. Conduction is when objects are in directed contact with each other. An example of conduction is a pot on the stove. The better the object conducts heat, the faster it gets hotter. Examples of good heat conductors are steel,iron,silver,and copper. Convection is when heat causes an object to move up and down. An example of convection is rice being cooked. As the rice gets hotter, it raises to the top and as it cools, it sinks again. Radiation is when you can feel heat from a distance. An example of radiation is a camp fire. When you are at a camp fire, you can feel the heat come to you.
