Get out your spiral, watch the video here and answer the questions below as you watch the video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fyDTPapXLLCNRH4gHsqUr0xnmSab2-02/view?usp=sharing

Question 6
6.

On a blank sheet of paper

1) Draw a side view of a room in the earth ship (kitchen, living area, hallway)

2) Using words, arrows and labels describe one example of convection, one example of conduction and one example of radiation that could be found. (Two points for each. Something like the image below, but you cannot use a boiling pot of water as an example. It has to be something else in those rooms.).
