I don’t have the experiment details or a picture — can you describe what happened (materials, where heat started, what moved) or upload the image? Meanwhile, here’s a quick way to tell which type it is:

- Conduction: heat transfer through direct contact between solids (or touching particles). Look for heat moving along a metal rod or between objects in contact.
- Convection: heat transfer by bulk movement of a fluid (liquid or gas). Look for rising warm fluid and sinking cool fluid (currents, boiling, bubbles, or a fan-driven airflow).
- Radiation: heat transfer by electromagnetic waves, no medium needed. Look for heating without contact or fluid motion — e.g., warmth from a lamp or the Sun, or infrared heating.

If you describe the setup (what was heated, whether anything moved, whether objects touched), I’ll identify which one it is.
