Learning Activities for Outcome 1

How does it work? The demo works due to Convection. Convection is a method of heat transfer which occurs mainly in fluids (Liquids and Gases). It depends on the fact that hot gases and liquids are always less dense than cold gases and liquids. KEY WORDS: heat, thermometer, joules, degree Celsius, temperature, energy, thermogram.

The experiment also works with cold water. The experiment also works with cold water. Place the coloured ice cube in a hot beaker of hot water. KEY WORDS: heat, thermometer, joules, degree Celsius, temperature, energy, thermogram.

Water movement Hot water rises Cooler water sinks Convection current Cools at the surface

Convection Warm air rises because the particles spread out. As it rises it cools down. The cool air sinks because the particles are close together. This type of heat transfer is CONVECTION

How does a fridge work? KEY WORDS: heat, thermometer, joules, degree Celsius, temperature, energy, thermogram.

Cold air sinks Where is the freezer compartment put in a fridge? Freezer compartment It is put at the top, because cool air sinks, so it cools the food on the way down. It is warmer at the bottom, so this warmer air rises and a convection current is set up.

Heat losses by Convection Think about heat being lost from a house. How could you prevent this heat from escaping? Discuss with the person next to you. KEY WORDS: heat, thermometer, joules, degree Celsius, temperature, energy, thermogram.

What is a Convection Current A phenomenon in fluids Instead of having energy moved by successive collisions of atoms and molecules, the fluid itself is set into motion called a convection current. These moving fluid currents are convection

How does a radiator heat the house without using a fan to spread the heat? KEY WORDS: heat, thermometer, joules, degree Celsius, temperature, energy, thermogram.

Convection When the radiator heats the air, it becomes less dense and rises Cool air moves in to replace the air that rose This generates the air flow So radiators don’t need a fan to stir the air and to distribute heat throughout a room The rising air cools until its density matches that of the surrounding air

Convection Can you explain why a breeze comes from the ocean in the day and from the land at night?
