Transferring energy means moving energy from one thing to another. This happens in many ways in the world around us!

🔥 Types of Energy Transfer

1. Heat Transfer (Hot to cold)

   • Conduction: Heat moves through a solid (like a metal spoon getting hot in soup).

   • Convection: Heat moves through liquids or gases (like warm air rising).

   • Radiation: Heat moves through empty space (like the Sun warming your skin).

     
     

2. Mechanical Transfer (Pushing or pulling)

   • Energy moves when something pushes or pulls an object (like kicking a soccer ball).

     
     

3. Electrical Transfer (Powering things)

   • Energy moves through wires (like charging a phone).

     
     

4. Light & Sound Transfer

   • Light carries energy (like sunlight to solar panels).

   • Sound carries energy (like speakers vibrating the air).

     
     

🌎 Energy Transfer in Nature

• Animals eat food → Energy moves from plants to animals.

• Waterfalls → Water’s energy moves into the river below.

• Lightning → Electrical energy moves from clouds to the ground.
