Thermometer
A thermometer measures temperatures. If the thermometer is in
contact with something hot, the red liquid goes up the tube. This
is because the particles in the liquid gets hotter and therefore
begins moving faster and further apart. If the thermometer
touches something colder the particles will move slower and
closer to each other, making the liquid go down the tube.
Particles:
Particles are what we are all made of. Particles are made of molecules and atoms, like water
(H2O) or Carbon dioxide (CO2). In this unit we will use particles as something small that when
it gets hotter, begins moving faster, and when it gets colder moves slower.
Temperature:
When you hear the word, temperature, you might think of something hot or
something cold. In this unit we say temperature to understand how fast something is
moving and its density. When the temperature increase↑ so does the par cles speed
but the substances density will decrease↓.
Density:
Density is how dense something is. Density is measure in kg/m3 or g/cm3. When
something is denser it just means that the substance is heavier per size.

Heat transfer (conduction) Heat Transfer
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between
particles of objects that are touching.
Thermal conduction happens when particles of a warmer
object bump into particles of a cooler object and transfer
some of their thermal energy to the cooler particles.
Conduction is usually faster in certain solids and liquids than
in gases.
Substances that are good conductors of thermal energy are
called thermal conductors. Metals are especially good
thermal conductors because they have free moving particles
that can transfer thermal energy quickly and easily.
Particles:
Particles are made of molecules and atoms, like water (H2O) or Carbon dioxide (CO2). In
this unit we will use particles as something small that when it gets hotter, begins
moving faster, and when it gets colder moves slower.
Example:
Think of a tea pot, put over a stove. The fires heat causes metal molecules in the pot to
move faster, making it hotter. These moving molecules touch their neighboring
molecules, making them also move faster. As these molecules touch, thermal energy is
given via conduction to the rest of the pan(metal molecules).
The pan then transfers this heat to the water molecules in the pan, which begins
moving faster and heats up. Lastly the water molecules gets so hot they turn to gas,
moving into the air (convection).

Heat transfer (Convection) Heat Transfer
Convection is the way liquids and gases move. When things
get hotter, they begin moving further apart. This space
makes the thing less dense, which makes the thing move up.
When a solid gets hotter it will at some point reach its
“melting point” which makes the solid turn to liquid. When
two liquids mix, the hotter or less dense liquid will move up,
and the colder or more dense liquid moves down. This is
called convection.
Convection happens in all liquids and gases, from our hot
tea to our bathwater and steam in the shower.
Convection happens all around us and is one of the reasons
we have weather and our atmosphere.
Particles:
Particles are made of molecules and atoms, like water (H2O) or Carbon dioxide (CO2). .
In this unit we will use particles as something small that when it gets hotter, begins
moving faster, and when it gets colder moves slower.
Example:
Convection is the movement of heat from one space to another space. Hot water
always rises to the surface and cold water always flows to the bottom. This is called
convection, and it happens only in liquids and gasses. The reason for cold water to flow
down is because cold water is denser.
This also means that anything liquid follows this rule, when the Earths crust is moving,
it is moving because the liquid rocks in the earth is moving the crust, this movement
causes earthquakes that you sometimes experiences.

Heat transfer (Convection) Heat Transfer
Convection is the way liquids and gases move. When things
get hotter, they begin moving further apart. This space
makes the thing less dense, which makes the thing move
up. When a liquid gets hotter it will at some turn into a gas.
When two gases mix, the hotter or less dense gas will move
up, and the colder or more dense gas moves down. This is
called convection. Convection happens in all liquids and
gases, from our hot tea to our bathwater and steam in the
shower. Convection happens all around us and is one of the
reasons we have weather and our atmosphere.
Gas:
Gases are where the molecules are free and starts moving away from each other.
Gases will always try to fill the room that they are in. When water boils, the steam(gas)
will move up, into the atmosphere, where it will cool down and turn into rain, sleet or
snow.
Example:
Air balloons uses convection to rise and descend in the air. A heater inside a
hot air balloon heats the air, causing the air to move upward. This causes
the balloon to rise because the hot air gets trapped inside. When the pilot
wants to descend, the pilot will release some of the hot air. Cool air takes its
place, causing the balloon to descend forwards the earth.

Convection:
Convection is the way liquids and gases move. Safety
When things get hotter, they begin moving further
apart. This space makes the thing less dense,
which makes the thing move up.
When a liquid gets hotter it will at some turn into
a gas. When two gases mix, the hotter or less
dense gas will move up, and the colder or more
dense gas moves down. This is called convection.

Heat transfer (Radiation) Heat Transfer
Radiation is how energy is transferred through electro
magnetic waves, which means it is transferred through
light. When something shines it is transferring heat.
When the sun shines the light transfers thermal energy
to what the light touches. Therefore, when you leave
something in the sun it gets hotter. But it is not only the
Sun. When you turn on your lightbulb in your room the
lightbulb creates heat through radiation and
conduction.
The Sun:
The Sun is a star in the center of our solar system. It is made of burning gasses, is very
bright and hot. The Sun is 150.000.000km away from the Earth, so when we look at it,
the sun seems small, but it is the biggest object in our solar system. It takes around 8
minutes for the suns light to go to Earth. When this light hits something it transfers
heat to that thing
Example:
The heating of the Earth by the Sun is an example of transfer of energy by radiation.
The heating of a room by an open fireplace is another example. The flames radiate
heat directly from the light to the objects in the room with little of this heat being
absorbed by the air.
