WHAT IS HEAT?

__________ is a measurement of the __________ of particles of

__________. The __________ they are moving, the more __________
or __________
energy they have. The __________ the particles are
moving the less heat it has.

Temperature is a measurement of __________________________ in an

object. It is measured on three scales ; __________, __________ and
__________. Temperature is independent of how much __________ there
is.

How is heat transferred?

There are three ways that heat is transferred from object to the
next, _______________, _______________, and ________________.

!
!

Conduction: transfer of heat between substances that

are in ____________ _______________ with each
other.
Example: grabbing the handle of a hot pan, walking
barefoot on concrete during the summer, ironing
clothes.

Convection: thermal energy is transferred from

_______________________
___________________________________.
Examples: Boiling water, heat in a room, the ocean

Radiation: heat is transmitted through

What is heat?

KEY

Heat is a measurement of the movement of particles of matter. The faster

they are moving, the more heat or thermal energy they have. The slower
the particles are moving the less heat it has.

Temperature is a measurement of heat or thermal energy in an object. It is

measured on three scales ; Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit. Temperature is
independent of how much matter there is.

How is heat transferred?

There are three ways that heat is transferred from object to the next,
conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction: transfer of heat between substances that are in

direct contact with each other.
Example: grabbing the handle of a hot pan, walking
barefoot on concrete during the summer, ironing
clothes.

!
!

Convection: thermal energy is transferred from hot places

(areas of high thermal energy) to cold places (areas of low
thermal energy).
Examples: Boiling water, heat in a room, the ocean

!
!
!

Radiation: heat is transmitted through empty space, with

electromagnetic waves.
Examples: warmth from the sun, a campfire, opening
the oven door
