Conduction - Heat transfer in solids through vibrations of the atoms, Free Electrons - These transfer heat faster by colliding with atoms further down a metal, Convection - Heat transfer in liquids and gases with particles moving apart and rising, then cooling and falling, Radiation - Heat transfer by waves of energy - thermal/infrared, Dark, Matt Surfaces - Good absorbers and emitters of radiation, Light, Shiny Surfaces - Good reflectors of radiation, Loft Insulation - Traps air, so it reduces conduction and convection because air is a poor conductor, Vacuum - Stops conduction and convection because it has no particles, Glass - Reduces conduction because the material is a poor conductor,
