HEAT

Warmth or Hotness

If something has very little heat energy, it feels cold.

Ice Cream

Ice Tea

Hot
If something has a lot of heat energy, it feels hot.

Hot Coffee

Fire

Heat
Warmth/Hotness A form of Energy

Thermal energy

So u rc e s of He a t

1. The Sun

The Sun produces heat from nuclear reactions deep inside it. It is the main source of energy for us.

2. Friction

Rubbing sticks to make fire Rubbing hands causes heat Rubbing dry sticks causes forest fire

Friction can also cause heat!

3. Chemical reactions
produce heat by causing a chemical change in substances.

4. The Earth contains much heat deep inside

Lava

Geyser or Hot spring

5. Electricity Electricity is converted to heat energy in electrical appliances

Temperature is measured in degree Celsius, written as C, degree Fahrenheit, written as F

Boiling Point of Water is 100 C More than 37 C of your body temperature means you are sick

Human body temperature is 37 C

Freezing Point of Water is 0 C

25 C is the room temperature And we will feel comfortable

Heat is the amount of energy

Temperature is a measure of the hotness or coldness of a object.

The SI units for heat are Joules

Temperature has units of degrees F, degrees C, or K

Cannot be measured with a thermometer

Can be measured with a thermometer

Thermometers are instruments used for measuring temperature.

Mercury Thermometer

Alcohol Thermometer

There are many kinds of Thermometers

Laboratory Thermometer

Clinical Thermometer

Digital Thermometer

Pyrometer

Cup gets cooler while hand gets warmer Heat flows from the cup to the hand

Ice gets warmer while hand gets cooler

Heat flows from hand to the ice

There are 3 types of heat conduction


Energy is transferred by direct contact.

Energy is transferred by The mass motion of molecules

Energy is transferred by electromagnetic radiation

Materials that allow heat to pass through them easily are called

Good Conductors of Heat


Iron Copper Silver Aluminium Brass

Materials that do not allow heat to pass through them easily

are called
Bad Conductors of Heat or Insulators
Ceramic Rubber Fabric Wood Plastic Glass

Leather

When matter is heated, it expands

On expansion, the volume of a substance increases. But the mass of the substance remain the same

Matter is cooled, it contracts.

On contraction, the volume of the substance decreases so the density increase So on cooling the substance increases the density. And contracts.

Small gaps are usually left between railway tracks so as to create an allowance for expansion of the rails whenever temperatures rise. Without these gaps, the rails may buckle in hot weather. Such gaps are known as expansion joints.
