1. The Sun
The Sun produces heat from nuclear reactions deep inside it.
It is the main source of energy for us.
Friction can also cause heat!
Rubbing hands causes heat
Rubbing sticks to make fire
Rubbing dry sticks causes forest fire
2. Friction

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

Freezing Point of Water is 0

C
Boiling Point of Water is 100

C
Human body temperature is 37

C
25

C is the room temperature


And we will feel comfortable
More than 37

C of your body temperature


means you are sick

Heat is the amount of energy

The SI units for heat are Joules
Temperature has units of
degrees F, degrees C, or K
Temperature is a measure of the
hotness or coldness of a object.
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
Clinical Thermometer
Pyrometer
Digital Thermometer
Laboratory Thermometer
Ice gets warmer while hand gets cooler
Cup gets cooler while hand gets warmer
Heat flows from hand to the ice
Heat flows from the cup to the hand
Energy
is transferred

Energy is transferred
by electromagnetic radiation
There are 3 types of heat conduction
Materials that allow heat to pass through them easily
are called
Good Conductors of Heat
Copper
Silver
Aluminium
Brass
Iron
Materials that do not allow heat to pass through them easily
are called
Bad Conductors of Heat
Rubber
Wood
Glass
Ceramic
Insulators
or
Plastic
Leather
Fabric
On expansion,
the volume of a substance increases.
But the mass of the substance remain
the same
When matter is heated, it expands
So on cooling the substance increases the density.
And contracts.
On contraction,
the volume of the substance decreases so the density increase
Matter is cooled,
it 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.
