In this chapter I learned how matter is heated. I learned what conduction is. Conduction is energy that is transfered by direct contact.I also leaned when you boil a pot of water it is heated by conduction.I liked the popcorn lab the best because we got to taste it. I disliked when we did learned about conduction, convection, and radiation because I got them confused. Can anyone tell me how a microwave oven works?
