Heat Transfer...

1. Conduction: heat energy travels through solids by vibrating particles

2. Convection: heat energy travels through gases and liquids because the particles move around (current)

Think...
Heat travels by conduction because particles in a solid vibrate. Heat can travel by convection because particles in a fluid (liquid or gas) rise.

Space is a vacuum, this means that there is no particles... So how does heat reach Earth from the

There are no particles in space (it is a vacuum)...

...how does heat energy travel from the Sun to

Just like sound energy, heat energy can travel as waves from one place to another.

Radiation
All object emit (give out) and absorb (take in) thermal radiation (heat energy). Thermal radiation is also known as infrared radiation.

Guess the Object... ... there are 8 infrared images for each one guess the object

Answers
Hair drier Ear/head Fireworks Shower Parrot House Bat Ice cube

Chocolate Challenge
You will each get a piece of chocolate
...the chocolate will be placed under a lamp for 15min

You must wrap your chocolate up in one of the following:

White paper
Black paper Tin foil (shiny side out) Tin foil (matt side out)

Which colour/surface absorbs thermal radiation the best?

Black

best absorber = melted

Shiny silver

Matt silver

White

Which colour emits heat the best?

Black or Silver

Practical Assessment
You will be assessed on:
Setting up the practical
Carrying out the practical safely Recording results Drawing a graph Writing a conclusion

Practical Assessment Which colour emits heat best?

Thermometer

00:00
1. Fill a can with boiled water 2. Record the starting temperature 3. Measure the temperature every 2min for 20min

Which colour of teapot should you put your tea in? Why?

Which hand feels hot first?

Why?

Radiation

Heat can travel even when there is no particles by a process called radiation. All materials can radiate and absorb heat. However materials radiate and absorb heat better than others.

Which radiates heat better; black material or silver material?

Which absorbs heat better; black material or silver material?
