The needle in a dial gauge will spin one full round if there is a 1mm change in length of an object. This can be used to prove that things will expand when heated. Connect the dial gauge to the object and heat up the object. You will see the needle in the dial gauge spinning.

The vacuum prevents heat loss through conduction and convection. Silvered surfaces prevent heat loss through radiation. The plastic cap prevents heat loss through convection and evaporation.

Hot water of the same temperature is poured into 2 containers with different colour (one silver one black). After some time, the water in the black container will have a lower temperature.
This is because black radiates thermal energy well. (Note that the water lose heat by radiation)
Also note that an object that release heat well also absorb heat well.
Thermal energy from the sun reach the earth through radiation(outer space is largely a vacuum)
Therefore, to stay cool on a sunny day, wear white clothes which reflects heat

Hot water rise and cold water sink

If you stick a piece of wax on an end of a horizontal bar and heat up the other end of the bar, the wax will melt after some time.
If you replace the bar with another one of a different material and if the wax take a longer time to melt, the bar is a poor conductor of heat, known as an insulator.
Our sweater should be made from an insulator so that we do not lose thermal energy from our body

Thermal energy moves from a warmer object to a cooler object through these ways

# data[].attributes.body
Objects with a temperature contain thermal energy due to the vibration of the atoms in a solid.
The motion of thermal energy is known as heat.
Thermal energy move from a warm object to a cold object by itself*. The flow of thermal energy stop when both objects have the same temperature.
*If thermal energy could move from a cool region to warm region, cold objects will get colder
