Write a paragraph about heat energy.

Heat energy consists of conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat by touch, this mainly appears in solids, an example would be your hand and a door knob. Convection, unlike conduction, is transfer of heat through fluids, which are liquids or gases, an example of this would be heat from a heat plate going into the object above. Finally, radiation is transfer of energy through waves, it can transfer through matter, as well as through vacuums, an example is the radiation from the Sun transferring to you. An example of all of these is a heat plate and a pot, conduction is your hand holding the pot, convection is the water being heated, finally, radiation is the heat going to the pan.
