What is heat?
Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from a
hotter object to a colder object
When something is hot or burning, there is heat.
We feel warm because heat is transferred from a hot object or a burning
material to our body.
What is Temperature?
Temperature is a how hot or cold the object is
A hot object have a high temperature,
A cold object have a low temperature
To measure
temperature we useuse
Thermometer
The Effects of Heat
Transfer on Objects
Change in Temperature
Transfer of heat between two objects causing
the temperature of the object change
● Hotter object will lose
heat and decrease in
temperature
● Colder object will gain
heat and increase in
temperature
● The transfer of heat
continue until both
objects reach the same
temperature

When we heat an object, the particle that closest to the source of heat will
vibrates and it will collide with the neighboring particles and cause it to
vibrates also. This happen continuously until all the particles vibrates and
heat spread out evenly
Conduction
The transfer of heat between object that are in
contact Examples:
Heat travels from hot coffee to Heat travels from electric Heat travels from
spoon and cup stove to pan candle to spoon
Conductor of heat
Good conductor of Poor conductor of
heat heat
Material that allow heat to be Materials that do not allow
transferred through them heat to be transferred through
easily them easily
Example: Examples:
Metal Wood
Glass Plastic
ceramic Rubber
Daily Examples:
When we heat a fluid ( liquid or moving gas), the particle that closest to the source of heat will vibrates
and it will become less dense (lighter) and it will comes to the surface pushing down the cool particles.
The cool particles will then heat up also and becoming less dense. The cycle, we called it convection
current, will continue until all the particles vibrates and heat spread out evenly.
Convection
The transfer of heat by the movement of liquids
and gas Example

What is Flammable Materials?
Flammable materials are materials that catch fire
Solid easily
Liquid Gas
