Notes about the Transfer of Heat
Define energy.
How does heat energy from the sun
pass through the atmosphere?
After watching the video, draw a
diagram showing the path of radiant
energy.
What are some other examples of
radiant heat transfer?

How does radiation travel?
Solar energy is an example of
_______________ energy.
What happens as you walk closer to a
campfire or fireplace?
Draw the electromagnetic waves showing the
direction in which heat will move from one object
to the other.
Do you think the color of an object
affects the way that energy is
transferred?
