Q1: The transfer of heat.

Q2:
- The lady used oven mitts so her hand would not be burned touching the hot cookie sheet pan.
- The plate began to warm up when the hot cookies were placed on it.
(These are conduction because heat is transferred through direct contact.)

Q3: convection.
(Holding a hand above the cookies senses the warm air rising from them.)
