• A form of light energy

How does heat move?

• Through conduction, convection, and radiation.

• Via friction, magnetism, and gravity.

• By evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

• Through sound, light, and electricity.

What are some sources of heat?

• Ice

• Water

• Sun, fire, stove, heater, friction

• Snow

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

• Heat is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

• Heat is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while temperature is the measure of the total energy in an object.

• Heat and temperature are the same thing.

• Heat is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, while temperature is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.

How does heat affect different materials?

• It only affects metals

• It causes materials to shrink

• It can cause expansion, change in state (solid to liquid or gas), or chemical reactions.

• It has no effect on any material

What are some ways to stay safe in extreme heat?

• Drink hot beverages

• Wear heavy and dark-colored clothing

• Stay hydrated, wear lightweight and light-colored clothing, avoid strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day, and seek air-conditioned or shaded areas.

• Engage in intense physical activity during the hottest part of the day

How can we use heat in everyday life?
