Write a paragraph about heat energy.

Heat is thermal energy. There are three types of heat transfer convection, conduction, and radiation. Convection is heat transfer in fluids. A example of convection is when someone boils water, the cold water goes down and the hot water rises up. When someone touches something and it warms up that is called convection. Conduction is heat transfer between substances that are in direct contact with each other.When a person sits down and the object that person is sitting on warms up, that is a form of conduction. Radiation is energy traveling through space. Radiation is when a pot is over the fire but not on it and the smoke from the fire is coming up. Radiation is seen at home when a person is cooking.
