REVIEW
What is your idea about
heat based on what
they learned in the
lower grades or based
on their everyday
experiences with heat?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HEAT AND
THERMAL ENERGY?
Heat
is the thermal
energy that is in the
process of being
transferred, say
between objects due to
the difference in their
temperature.
Inother words,
heat is energy
“in transit”. It
transfers from
an object of
higher
temperature to
Heat from the source
to other objects or
places.
Example
The
kettle with
water placed on top
of burning stove
The water gets hot because heat from the burning stove is transferred to it.
Heat transfer is
related to change
in temperature.
Temperature refers
to the relative
hotness or coldness
of an object.
METHODS
OF HEAT
TRANSFER
HEAT TRANSFER BY
CONDUCTION
Conduction takes place
when the particles
between objects or places
that are in contact vibrate
and collide at different
speeds due to the
difference in their
temperature.
HEAT TRANSFER BY
CONDUCTION
The
particles at a higher
temperature are more
energetic and thus
vibrate faster than the
particles at the lower
temperature.
Heat transfer occurs not
only in solids but also in
fluids, but not all conduct
heat equally. Some
materials conduct heat
easily; other materials
conduct heat poorly.
Objects that conduct heat
poorly, like wood are
Onebasis for
determining the use of
materials is by their
ability to conduct heat,
known as their
conductivity. Higher
conductivity means that
the material is a good
conductor of heat. Metals
EXAMPLE
Thinkof a metal spoon
put in a bowl of a hot
champorado.
