Bozeman Science: Heating
In the following video Paul Andersen explains how heating is the transfer of energy (heat) from a warmer object to a cooler object. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection and radiation. At the microscopic level conduction...

Bozeman Science: Heat
In the following video Paul Andersen explains how heat is the movement of energy from an object with a higher temperature to an object with lower temperature. Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, and radiation. [4:10]
Wisc-Online
Wisc Online: Heat Transfer: Convection, Conduction, Radiation
An interactive lesson illustrating the three methods of heat transfer: convection, conduction, and radiation. See short animations, and read about examples of each method.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Computer Model of Mantle Convection
See how scientists study mantle convection, or the flow of hot rock in the Earth's deep interior, in order to better understand how this flow shapes the surface of the Earth. Learn how convection makes the Earth dynamic. [7:10]

Bozeman Science: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer
Paul Andersen explains how energy is conserved within a system. In both macroscopic and microscopic collisions, the amount of energy before the collision is equal to the amount after. He then defines heat as energy transfer between...

Bozeman Science: Thermoregulation
Paul Andersen explains how organisms are able to regulate their internal body temperature (or not). He starts with a brief description conduction, convection, radiation and metabolism. He contrasts ectotherms and endotherms. He also...
