Convection, conduction, and radiation are the three methods of heat transfer. Introduce them to your physical science students by showing this video. The emcee shows where each of these play a role in his kitchen and explains a bit about how they work. This is an informative introduction to your energy curriculum, especially your unit on thermal energy or heat. Make sure to do some of your own demonstrations or have the class perform some in the lab afterward.
