(Week 5)

A. Topic: Quarter 1:Unit 1 Force, Motion and Energy


Lesson 5 Heat and Temperature

B. Objective: At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
 Distinguish heat from temperature

CONTENT STANDARDS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS


The learners demonstrate an understanding of: The learners should be able to…
 Heat and temperature, and the effects of
heat on the body

Competencies:
 Differentiate between heat and temperature at the molecular level

INTRODUCTION:
Scientist considers heat as the most common energy due to its many uses. Heat is very important in certain household
chores such as cooking food and ironing clothes. Many industries like manufacturing use heat to operate machines and
engines. Heat is also vital in transporting people using ships, trains, cars, and airplanes. All these demonstrate that heat
is capable of doing work.

LESSON 5: Heat and Temperature

GUIDE QUESTION:
1. How is heat defined?
2. How is temperature defined?
3. Are heat and temperature the same?

Heat and Temperature

What is heat?

 Heat is defined as the state of energy which an object has because of the kinetic energy of its molecules.
 Count Benjamin Thompson Rumford concluded that heat was produced from friction alone.
 It was only about 40 years later that an English physicist, James Prescott Joule proved that a measurable amount
of mechanical energy could always be transformed into definite amounts of heat.
 He concluded that heat must be just another form of energy.

Sources of Heat
 Natural Sources
1. The Sun
 When the sun’s energy reaches the earth, 30% of its is immediately reflected back out into space. Only 70%
remains to interact with the earth, and warm it up. Of the 70%, 20% is energy to heat both the surface of the
earth, as well as the ocean.
 It is the sun’s heat energy that makes plants and animals to provide themselves with energy.
 These plants provide food for animals. Human eat plants and animals to provide themselves with energy. Much
of the heat on earth may be traced back to the sun.
2. The interior of the Earth
 A great amount of heat also comes from buried hot rocks and lava flow from craters and crevices of erupting
volcanoes.
 The hot spring in Tiwi, Albay, Los Banos, Laguna and in Tayabas Quezon are proofs that the earth’s interior is
much hotter than its surface.

 Artificial Sources
1. Chemical Action
 When fuels like coal, kerosene, wood, and gasoline are burned, they are used as artificial sources of heat.
 The oxygen we breathe in burns the food we eat, producing enough body heat to keep our body temperature
close to 370 C.
2. Mechanical Action
 Heat energy produced by a friction.
3. Electrical Energy
 Electricity is a very common source of heat at home.
 Oven toaster and electric iron are heated by the resistance of the heating coils to the electricity passing through
them.
4. Nuclear Energy
 The tremendous amount of energy from nuclear reactions can be used to change water into steam, which is
then used to operate a turbine to generate electricity.

Temperature
 Is a fundamental concept just like length, mass, and time, which are used to describe a certain state of an object.
In general, it is the measure of the relative hotness or coldness of an object.

Temperature Scale
o The most common thermometer used in the laboratory is the Mercury Thermometer.
o Colored alcohol is another liquid commonly used in thermometer.
Celsius Scale -Commonly known as Centigrade Scale.
o This scale was devised in 1741 by a Swedish astronomer, Anders Celsius, based on the properties of water.
o On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is fixed at 0 degree Celsius (0 C)
o The boiling point of pure water under normal atmospheric pressure, 760 mm Hg (at sea level), is 100 degrees
Celsius (100C).
o The normal temperature of the human body is 370 C
Fahrenheit Scale
o The Fahrenheit scale was devised by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, A German physicist.
o Unites States of America and England use the Fahrenheit scale for weather observation and other purposes.
o On Fahrenheit scale, 320 F is the freezing point of water and 2120 F is the boiling point.

Kelvin Scale or Absolute Zero


o Named after Sir William Thompson (Lord Kelvin) who devised it.
o This temperature scale is often used when gases are involved.
o Its zero point (0 K) corresponds to -273 C and is referred to as Absolute Zero or the temperature at which the
molecular energy of matter is minimal.
o On the Kelvin scale, the freezing point of water is 273 K and the boiling point of water is 373 K
o To convert temperature readings from one scale to another, the equation below are used:
Heat Transfer
Heat may be transferred in three ways:
a. Conduction
b. Convection
c. Radiation

a. Conduction
 Transmission of heat from particle to particle Conduction of heat in an object will take place only when one part
of the object has a higher temperature than another part.
 The part with a higher temperature will transfer its heat energy to that part with a lower temperature.
 Solid are the best conductors of heat.
 Among solids, metal conduct heat the best.
 But metals differ in their conductivity.

b. Convection
 The heat energy is distributed by the liquid or gaseous molecules in circling currents.
c. Radiation
 Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
