4. Heat Heat is the amount of thermal energy that is transferred from one body or system to another, due to a difference in temperature. Heat is energy in transit. SEE ANIMATION
5. Heat Heat is energy in transit. Heat flow stops when their temperatures are the same, that is, thermal equilibirum. Heat flows from the hot iron rod to the cold water. Heat is the amount of thermal energy that is transferred from one body or system to another, due to a difference in temperature. GO BACK
6. Heat measurement 1 J = 0.24 cal Units of heat: joules (J) calories (cal) Heat is measured in units of joules or calories . 1 cal = 4.186 J heat
7. Temperature and measurement Temperature is the amount of heat in a system. Temperature can be measured with a thermometer.
8. Thermometers coloured alcohol mercury Alcohol thermometer Clinical thermometer They are used to measure atmospheric temperature. X [close] They are used to measure body temperature. X [close]

10. Effects of heat Heat produces the following effects on matter: Expansion Contraction
11. Effects of heat Heat produces the following effects on matter: Expansion: The increase in volume which occurs when a system gains heat. Expansion Contraction
12. Effects of heat Heat produces the following effects on matter: Contraction Contraction: the decrease in volume which occurs when a system loses heat. Expansion
13. The gas inside a balloon expands when heated. Expansion and contraction The particles move more freely than in solids. Liquids usually expand more than soilds. The particles are far apart and move more freely than in liquids. Gases usually expand more than liquids. The particles are not free to move. Solids do not expand much. Solids Liquids Gases Mercury expands when heated. Expansion joints expand when it is hot. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RAILS CONTRACT? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A GAS EXPANDS?

16. Changes of state When a state of matter gains or loses heat, it undergoes a change. SOLID LIQUID GAS melting solidifcation sublimation desublimation evaporation condensation endothermic exothermic Heat changes can be:
17. Conduction Direction of heat The kinetic energy of the particles increases. particles of a solid This is the transfer of heat in most solids. Heat is transferred by direct contact .
18. Conductors and insulators Insulators do not allow heat to move through them easily. Conductors allow heat to move through them easily. metal plastic Double-glazed window air air space cork
19. Convection gas particles liquid particles convection currents This is the transfer of heat in liquids and gases. Heat is transferred by the movement of currents.
20. Greenhouse Radiation solar radiation radiation emitted by plants This is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. No contact is necessary between the source and the heated substance.
