Heat and Temperature

Heat is a form of energy that transfers from warmer materials to colder ones, with temperature differences driving this flow. Sources of heat can be natural, like the sun and volcanoes, or artificial, such as ovens and hair dryers. Heat flows through solids via conduction, with metals acting as conductors and materials like fabric and wood serving as insulators.

LET'S LEARN ABOUT

HEAT
OBJECTIVES
1 Define heat energy.
2 Enumerate the different
sources of heat.
3 Describe how heat flows
in solid materials.
HEAT
Heat is a form of
energy that flows
from a warmer
material to a colder
one.
PICTURE THIS!
Imagine a cup of hot
chocolate on a table. If you
put some ice cubes in the
hot chocolate drink, what
do you think will happen to
the hot chocolate? What will
happen to the ice cubes?
The chocolate drink is
hot while the ice cubes
are cold. When mixed,
the chocolate drink
cools down and the ice
cubes warm up and
melt. Heat flows from
the hot chocolate to
the ice cubes.
TEMPERATURE
If there is a difference in
temperatures between
two objects, heat flows.
Temperature is a
measurement of how
hot or cold something is.

Q
n
If you put a scoop of
ice cream into a warm
bowl, what will be the
direction of the flow of
heat?
Heat flows from an
object with a higher
temperature object to
one with a lower
temperature. Since the
bowl is warmer than
the ice cream, heat
flows from the bowl to
the ice cream.
SOURCES OF
Sources HEAT
of heat are objects
that produce heat. They
can be natural or artificial.
Natural sources of heat
occur naturally. Artificial
sources of heat are man-
made and are not found
naturally.
NATURAL SOURCES OF
HEAT

volcano Sun hot spring


ARTIFICIAL SOURCES OF
HEAT

hand dryer oven hair dryer


HOW DOES
HEAT FLOW IN
SOLIDS?
Heat can flow through a solid.
This movement is called
conduction. Heat is
conducted from the hot end
of the solid to its cooler end.
CONDUCTOR
S
Thermal conductors are
objects that allow heat to
flow easily through them.
Metals such as copper,
gold, and aluminum are
conductors.
EXAMPLES OF
CONDUCTORS

copper gold aluminum


INSULATORS
Thermal insulators are
objects that do not
allow heat to flow easily
through them. Fabric,
wood, and foam are
insulators.
EXAMPLES OF
INSULATORS

fabric wood foam
