                 liquids and gases. For example, heat travels in iron, water and
                 air. This shows that solids, liquids and gases can transfer heat.



                 Look at the following pictures to study different sources of heat.

                 Heat energy can be produced by various sources. These include

                 wood burning stoves, electric stoves, charcoal stoves and gas
                 stoves. It can also be produced by the sun. The sun is one of
                 the natural sources of heat.
