Abstract: Conduction is a general term used whenever you are talking about moving something from one place to another. One familiar example is a conductor on a train. A train conductor helps move people from place to place. In this video we're looking at another type of conduction - heat energy conduction. Barkley is experimenting with the conduction of heat energy from a hotter to a cooler item. Heat energy always travels from a hotter to a cooler material. In a solid material, like Barkley's experimental oven mitts, heat energy moves from the mitts to Barkley's hands since those items are touching each other. Kindergarten to second grade.
