What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you master the skill of explaining the effects of heat on materials. The scope of
this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons
are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in
which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are
now using.
The module is divided into two lessons, namely:
 Lesson 1 – Sources of Heat
 Lesson 2 – The Effects of Heat on Materials

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the sources of heat;
2. explain the effects of heat on materials; and
3. observe safety measures in handling hot materials.
 What I Know

2. What is the main source of heat?
3. What will be produced after rubbing your hands?
4. Where did the lava come from?
5. What electrical appliance is used in pressing clothes?

Lesson

1 Sources of Heat

Heat is a form of energy. It is the result of the continuous motion of small

particles that compose all matter. When a material is heated, these tiny particles
called molecules vibrate faster. If the molecules absorb more heat energy, they
will vibrate faster. As a result, the temperature will rise (Ramos and Apolinario,
2017).

What’s In
 Write letter H if the object is hot or C if it is cold. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.

1. Boiling water

2. Ice cream

3. Sun

4. Ice

5. Fire

What’s New
 What did you feel after playing under the sun? Did you feel warm? Did
you sweat all over?
What you have felt is a form of energy. Heat makes us feel warm or hot
(Abadilla, 2009)

What is It

Sources of Heat

Friction produces heat because it causes the

molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and
have more energy. You will feel warm after rubbing
your hands against each other several times. It
comes from the increase in motion of molecules in a
body.

Sun is our main source of heat. The sun’s heat is absorbed by the bodies
of water, the ground, the plants, and the atmosphere. (Ramos and Apolinario,
2017).
 Electricity is one of the sources of heat. We use many electrical
appliances for the heat they give.

Burning fuels can produce heat. A

substance that combines with oxygen rapidly produces heat fast enough to cause
flame. When coal, wood, natural gas, or any other fuel burns, substances in the
fuel combine with oxygen in the air to form heat. This reaction is known as
combustion (Ramos and Apolinario, 2017). Example of combustion is the

There is also heat from deep inside the earth and it is called Geothermal
heat. We observe some of this heat when a volcano erupts. We also have hot
springs because of the heated hot rocks within the earth.

 Lesson
The Effects of Heat on
2 Materials

Heat causes physical changes, sometimes chemical changes in a

substance also happen. A physical change is a change in size, shape, or state of
substance. There is no new substance formed after a physical change. A
chemical change involves the formation of a new substance (Lemi, 2007).

What’s In

Identify the source of heat of each material. Choose the letter of the correct
answer in the box below. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

A. Burning fuels B. Electricity C. Friction

D. Geothermal heat E. Sun

1. Oven toaster
2. Hot spring
3. Bonfire
4. Rubbing of hands
5. Drying of clothes
 What’s New

Do this activity. Ask for an assistance from an adult. Be

careful in handling hot objects.
Prepare a candle and a match.
Light the candle and observe how it changes after 2 to 3
minutes.
What happened to the candle after being exposed to heat?

What is It

Physical Change

A substance goes through physical change when heated or cooled. The

wax in which the candle is made of melts when lighted or heated.

The change from solid to liquid is called

melting. Any solid material that changes to liquid
through the process of heating undergoes melting.
An ice cube becomes liquid when it absorbs
molecules of heat (Lemi, 2007).

When heat is
Water vapor
applied continuously to water, the
particles escape and enter the air as water
water

heat
vapor. Water vapor is a gas. The change of state from liquid to gas is called
evaporation (Lemi, 2007).

Other examples of evaporation are drying of clothes under the sun,

ironing of clothes, drying of wet hair using a blower, and drying of sweat from
the body.

Chemical Change

Heat causes substance to change chemically. After heating, a new

substance may be formed.

Burning of wood coal Burning of paper ashes

Combustion is a chemical reaction that gives off heat and light.

Combustion produces heat and fire.
Example of combustion is the burning of
gasoline in automobile engines. The
process produces heat that cause the gases
in the engine to expand and move parts that
make the engine work.
