➔ Matter is made up of atoms
➔ Atoms have the capability to
transfer heat and cause
attraction or repulsion of
charged objects.
➔ There are different modes on how heat are transferred.
➔ However, not all materials allow heat to pass through
easily, these materials are called insulators.
CONDUCTOR
➔ In a conductor, electric current can flow freely
➔ Metals are good conductors of HEAT and
ELECTRICITY
WHAT IS HEAT?
➔ HEAT is a transit energy that
is transferred from an object
with higher temperature to an
object with a lower
temperature.
➔ Heat ALWAYS flows from
warmer to colder objects.
EXAMPLE
➔ When you place a warm food
in the refrigerator, heat flows
from the warm food to the
refrigerator’s cooling system
and is ejected outside.
➔ This is how food inside the
refrigerator gets cold.
CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR HEAT
TRANSFER
➔ Temperature is an essential factor in heat transfer.
WHAT IS
TEMPERATURE?
➔ Temperature of a substance
is the measure of the speed
of the moving particles or
the amount of energy.
7
TEMPERATURE
➔ The faster the movement of
particles, the higher the
amount of energy.
➔ The transfer of energy
causes the matter to change
temperature.
➔ Energy is transferred,
through heat, until the
temperature of the two
matters reach their
equilibrium.

WHAT IS THE DEVICE USED IN MEASURING
TEMPERATURE ?
★ THERMOMETER is the
device used in measuring
temperature.
★ The first thermometer was
invented by GALILEO
GALILEI in the year
1602.

PARTICLE THEORY OF MATTER
★ The speed by which atoms and molecules move depends largely on
the energy they contain.

used temperature scales

CELSIUS (°C) & FAHRENHEIT (°F)

KELVIN ( K )
★ The SI unit of temperature.

HEAT TRANSFER
➔ Heat travels from a material
with higher temperature to a
material with lower
temperature
➔ There are three modes of heat
transfer, these are

HEAT TRANSFER BY CONDUCTION
★ Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through
direct contact.

HEAT TRANSFER BY CONDUCTION
★ Have you experienced
leaving your metal spoon
in your mug filled with hot
coffee for a few seconds?

CONVECTION
➔ In fluids, such as gases and
liquids, the transfer of
energy adopts a different
method.
➔ Both hot air and hot liquid
rise.
➔ Whenever gases acquire
heat, molecules tend to move
so rapidly that heated gases
expand, occupy a bigger
space and become lighter.
21
CONVECTION
➔ As the heated gas rise, they lose energy.
➔ Warmer water rises and cold water sinks.
22
CONVECTION
➔ You will also notice
that cold air from the
air conditioning unit
goes down.
➔ This is because cold
air is denser.
23
CONVECTION
➔ Convection is the
movement of a hotter and
less dense material to rise
while the colder, denser
material sinks under the
influence of gravity which
consequently results to
transfer of het.
24
RADIATION
➔ Heat from the sun reaches
the planet through
radiation.
➔ It occurs when heat is
transferred through space.
25
RADIATION
➔ Other forms of radiation
include the heat
surrounding a fire or
flame, and the heat
given off by a stove.
➔ Toasting marshmallow
in an open fire, is an
example of radiation.
