🔥 Thermal Lab Pro
Scenario: The Chef's Pan

Heat travels through solids via direct contact. Vibrating atoms pass energy to neighbors. Metals conduct fast; wood and plastic insulate.

Handle Material
Scenario: The Drafty Room

Heat travels through fluids (air/water) via bulk motion. Hot air expands, becomes less dense, and rises (Buoyancy). Cold air sinks.

Scenario: The Campfire

Heat travels as electromagnetic waves (Infrared). No medium required. Intensity drops with distance ($1/r^2$).
