 Most Essential Learning Competency

Differentiate Between Heat and Temperature at the

Molecular Level

 HEAT AND TEMPERATURE

Introduction

Temperature and heat are usually used

interchangeably. Some people often interchange the use of
these terms in their daily conversation while others think that
these terms are just the same. But scientifically, heat and
temperature are two different concepts. In this module, you
will learn the difference between heat and temperature.

Differentiating heat and temperature is essential in

understanding some of the processes that happens in things
around us. Some phenomena can be understood and
explained better when you are equipped with knowledge and
concepts about heat and temperature.

Most Essential Learning

module. So, go on and have a great time learning!

Learning Activities

ELICIT
You have learned in grade 7 that heat transfer
takes place between objects or places of different
temperatures, and that heat transfers from an object
of higher temperature to an object of lower
temperature. This time you will learn more about heat
transfer by exploring its effects on materials.
Try to recall the concepts about how heat is
being transferred by considering the situation on the
next page.

 A hot boiled egg was served with you.
You want to eat it right away so you scooped
the egg with a spoon and put it in water. Few
minutes later, you noticed that the water turns
warm and the egg becomes a little colder. Why
is this so? Put a check ( / ) on the box of your
chosen answer.

The water absorbs heat from the

boiled egg
The temperature of the egg makes
the water cold
The heat escapes from the
environment

You already know that heat flows from an object

of higher temperature to an object of lower
temperature. This time you will learn more about heat
and temperature particularly the movement of the
particles and its kinetic energy as you go on with the
lesson.

EX P L A I N
Take time to understand the following ideas or
concepts for you to confirm the results of the activities
you have performed.

The figure below shows two objects of different temperature. The white circles
represent particles in a hot object while the dark circles represent particles in a cold
object. The arrows indicate the movement of the particles.
HOT COLD HOT COLD HOT COLD

(a) The particles in a hot object move faster than the particles in the colder object.

(b) The two objects come in contact. When the two objects are in contact, fast-moving
molecules collide with slow-moving molecules causing the slow-moving molecules to
speed up and the fast-moving one to slow down.

(c) Heat flows from hotter to colder object causing the particles in the hot object to
slow down and the particles in the colder object to speed up. The molecules move at
the same speed, a state of thermal equilibrium.

8
How are heat, temperature and kinetic energy related?
If heat is added to an object, the particles of the object gain kinetic energy and
they move faster. Since temperature is directly related to kinetic energy, any gain in
kinetic energy would cause the temperature to increase. Conversely, if heat is
transferred or removed from an object, it loses kinetic energy, its particles move slower
and body’s temperature decreases.
What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy (a substance cannot contain heat) whereas
Thermal Energy is the sum of the total energy of all particles in a substance.
Temperature is the measure of the average speed of these particles that make up the
substance.

 Let’s revisit your response in concept
cartoon. We can now say that “Ugen” has the right
answer because the higher the temperature that
faster the movement of particles thus chocolate
powder will be dissolved fastest in hot water.

EL A B OR A TE
Try to apply the ideas/ concepts you’ve
learned about heat and temperature into this
situation

Joshua attended a birthday party. He saw

someone preparing a juice. He observed that the
powdered juice is dissolved in water. He added ice after
the juice is completely dissolved in the water.

Why is it better to dissolve first the juice in the

water before adding ice on it?

Elicit:
The water absorbs heat from boiled egg. The heat transfer from an
object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature.

Engage: Concept Cartoon

I agree with the idea of Ugen that the chocolate powder will dissolve
fastest in hot water and slowest in cold water because the higher the
temperature the faster the movement of particles thus chocolate powder will be
dissolved fastest in hot water.

Explore: Choco in Water

1. The rate of dissolution of chocolate powder in each cup differs from each other.
2. Hot water. Cold water
3. The higher the temperature of the water, the faster the rate of chocolate powder
to dissolve
4. The particles are moving fastest in the cup A with hot water. The particles are
moving slowest in the cup C with cold water. This is because the higher the
temperature the faster the movement of particles.
5. The particles in hot water are moving faster compared to particles in cold water.
6. The particles in hot water has higher kinetic energy. The particles in cold water
has lower kinetic energy.
7. The higher the temperature, the greater the kinetic energy of the particles.

15
Elaborate:

It is better to dissolve first the juice powder in tap water before adding
ice on it because the higher the temperature of water the faster the movement
of particles thus the juice dissolve faster since tap water has higher temperature
compared to ice.
