Temperature and Heat • What measures the temperature of matter? • Thermometer • Temperature of matter is caused by particles moving very quickly. The more energy they have the more they move. • Experiment: Slowly move your hands against each other. Are your hands very warm? Now move your hands against each other rapidly. Which movement makes your hands warmer?
What’s the Matter? • In solid matter the particles cannot move very far because they have no place to go. • What do you think happens in liquid or gas matter? • In both types of matter the particles can move more rapidly releasing more energy. • Food for thought: Which takes longer to heat up in the microwave a potato or a glass of water?
Food for Thought • The potato takes longer to heat up because it is made of solid matter. The particles cannot move as quickly through solid than liquids.
What is Heat? • Heat is the transfer of energy. • Think about a hot summer day and you decide to jump in a swimming pool to cool off. How do you feel when your body hits the water? • Well, energy is moving from your body into the water.
How does heat travel? • Convection: The movement of heat in liquids and gases from a warmer area to a cooler area. • Example: boiling water in a pot of water on a stove
Another type of heat transfer… • Conduction: the movement of between two materials that are touching. • Example: A hot spoon in a bowl of spoon. The spoon is hot and it’s heat is transferred to the spoon.
Third type of heat transfer • Radiation: the movement of heat without matter to carry it. • Example: The sun’s energy is release through heat (light), and it travels through space (not considered matter) to the earth.
Remember… • Heat always moves from warmer matter to matter that is cooler. • Think about a hot cup of chocolate that has been out on the counter for 1 hours. What happens to the liquid?
