A baker uses oven mitts to open an oven, take a loaf of bread out, and place it on a plate. In 3–4 sentences, identify three examples of thermal energy transfer in the scenario.
1. The baker uses thermal energy transfer by opening the oven door, allowing the hot air from inside the oven to escape and cool down as it mixes with the surrounding air in the bakery.
2. When the baker uses the oven mitts to grab the loaf of bread, there is thermal energy transfer from the hot loaf to the cooler mitts, causing the mitts to absorb some of the heat.
3. Finally, when the baker places the hot loaf on the plate, there is thermal energy transfer from the loaf to the plate, which causes the plate to heat up.
