What is heat? What is the unit of heat? What is temperature? What are the units of temperature?
Heat water in a beaker to 60°C Remove the beaker from the heat and record the temperature every minute until it reaches 40°C Put your results in a table Draw a line graph
LINE GRAPH CHECKLIST I have Used mm graph paper Written a title Underlined the title with a ruler Drawn the axes with a ruler Put the independent variable on the x axis and the dependent variable on the y axis Labeled the axes Labeled the axes with units Used a regular increase on the axes (e.g. 2,4,6 NOT 1,3,4,7) Used crosses for the data points Drawn a line of best fit (curved or straight)
What happened to the temperature over time? Where did the heat energy go? How could you speed up this process? How could you slow it down?

What happens to solids, liquids and gases when you heat them? What happens to the particles when this happens?
What is a convection current? In which 2 states of matter does convection happen?
Convection experiment 1.Place about 400mls of water into a beaker and place on a tripod stand. 2. Start to heat the water with a bunsen burner (blue flame). 3. Carefully drop the coloured crystal into the beaker so that it is seating at the bottom of the beaker. Watch what happens.
Convection experiment Complete the diagram to show what happened.
Convection currents can be found when liquids are heated for cooking. Convection currents in liquids drinkmatron.com
Draw the particles and explain what happens at each stage in this convection current.
What is conduction? Name 2 good conductors Name 2 good insulators
Write the Aim, Prediction, Variables, and prepare a results table.
Graph (bar chart) and conclusion
The pin fell of the metal that is the best conductor of heat first. Make a list of the metals from best conductor to the least conductor
Which direction does heat ALWAYS move in? Describe what happens to the particles when a solid conducts heat. Why are gases bad conductors of heat?
Materials which are very poor conductors are called ‘thermal insulators’ Wood, cotton, cork and expanded polystyrene are good insulators
How well a material conducts heat depends on how close the particles are together… Solids are the best Then liquids Gases are terrible conductors of heat
Design a Saucepan Challenge Which parts of the saucepan do you want to get hot and which bits do you want to keep cool? Why? Base Main part of pan Handle Holder on lid
Which direction does heat move in by radiation? Can radiation go round corners? Why? Give 3 uses of infra-red radiaton
Heat energy from the sun travels to earth by radiation. Since the space between the sun and the earth is a vacuum (no particles present), the heat cannot travel by conduction or convection. Infrared Radiation
Prediction: Variables: Independent: Dependent: Control:
Heat energy waves (or rays) are known as Infrared Radiation. Infrared Radiation waves will travel out from a hot source in all directions. Heater Infrared Radiation
Which colours absorb more infrared radiation? Which colours reflect more infrared radiation? Which colours emit more infrared radiation?
Special Infrared cameras can be used to show the Infrared radiation given off by different things. Infrared Radiation pictures gosublogger.com
This is a infrared image of a child’s hand holding a lizard. Lizards are reptiles and are cold blooded. Notice how the child`s hand is warm compared to the lizard. Infrared Radiation pictures
This is an infrared image of a person. What area is the hottest? What do you think it is? Infrared Radiation pictures
This is an infrared image of two coffee cups containing very hot drinks.
This is a infrared image of a dear in the dark. Since infrared cameras detect heat radiation they can see the heat from warm blooded animals in the dark.
This infrared medical scan shows an injured and healthy leg. The bright white region shows the location of the injury, which is warmer due to the increased blood flow to the injured area.
This is a infrared image of footprints. As this person walks away barefoot the heat left behind her feet stills glows on the ground.
This is an infrared image of a cat. The yellow areas are the warmest and the purple areas are cool.
This is a infrared image of a tyre that has been heated by friction with the road. Notice how the area of the tyre that touches the road glows much more brightly when you look through the infrared camera.
This is a infrared image of a zebra. Notice how the stripes appear on the infrared. Do you think these are the black or white stripes?
This is an infrared image of a heating element. Even after the stove is turned off, this heating element will glow brightly in the infrared until it reaches room temperature.
