Sally is roasting a marshmallow over a campfire on the end of a piece of wire. She knows that the

energy from the fire causes the molecules in the end of the wire that are closest to the fire to move

faster. These molecules transfer some of their extra kinetic energy to other molecules close by,

and these, in turn, affect still more molecules. Sally knows that this method of energy transfer is
