4. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I But what is temperature? Temperature is a measure of ‘hotness’ or ‘coolness’. But what do we mean by ‘hotness’? Well, we know if something is hotter than something else. We can measure temperature (or ‘hotness’) using a thermometer. The most common unit for temperature is degrees Celsius. What is the temperature of boiling water in degrees Celsius? And melting ice?

5. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I Heat and energy Think of something that is used to remove heat from things. To make something hotter you have to give it some energy. This energy is called ‘thermal energy’ or ‘heat energy’. So, a metal pan contains more heat energy when it is hot than when it is cold. Cookers and fires are used to add energy to things – to heat things.

8. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I But what is heat? We know heat energy makes something hot. How does it do it? Everything is made of small particles. In a solid these particles are held together quite tightly. The particles can move by wobbling or vibrating in their fixed positions like bottles in a crate. Heat energy makes the particles wobble more. We feel this increase in vibration as the object getting hotter.

9. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I Explaining conduction What happens if we heat part of a metal rod? The particles in that part of the rod vibrate more. The particles pass on the vibration to other particles along the rod. The colder area warms up. We call this transfer of energy conduction.

10. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 1. Conduction happens when the vibrations of the particles in an object move from one particle to the next. 2.Conduction cannot happen in space because there are no particles to vibrate. 3. Particles that are closer together pass on vibrations less easily than particles that are far apart. 4.The difference in temperature between one area and another has no effect on the rate of conduction. 8I True conduction Decide if these statements are true or false. TRUE FALSE TRUE

11. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 1. Most liquids cannot conduct heat well. 2.Gases conduct heat very well. 3. Metals tend to be better conductors of heat than plastics. 4. Heat is conducted along a metal bar as the metal particles move from the hot end to the cold end. 8I True conduction Decide if these statements are true or false. TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE

12. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I Convection Think about the vibrating particles again… when they vibrate they take up more space. The object they are part of expands. This happens in solids, liquids, and gases. In liquids and gases the heated part is less dense. So it floats up through the cooler liquid or gas above it. This is called convection. How does this hot air balloon rise? Can you think of another example of convection?

13. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I Watching convection When you switch on a lava lamp it takes a while for the lava to start moving. Why? Why does the lava start to fall here? Why does the lava start to rise here? Think about how a lava lamp works.

14. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 8I Radiation Can you think of an example of heat transfer through empty space? (Clue: think big!) Radiation does not depend on particles to transmit the heat. Heat energy is transferred as radiation even when no particles are present.

19. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college 1. Double glazing cuts down heat loss from a house because… a) heat cannot pass through glass b) the layer of air in the middle is a very good insulator c) people can’t afford to turn the heating up after they’ve bought double glazing. 2. A well insulated loft cuts down heat loss because... a) loft insulation does not let heat pass through easily b) loft insulation is waterproof c) loft insulation stops cold air leaking into the house. 8I Saving energy quiz

Which of the following should you do first to cut your heating bill? a) fit loft insulation b) fit double glazing c) fit draught excluders. 4. Birds often sit on roofs of houses that do not have loft insulation in winter. This is because… a) the roofs feel warmer as heat rises from the house b) the roofs tend to be flatter so the birds do not fall off c) birds are allergic to the material used for loft insulation. 8I Saving energy quiz
