 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is

here to help you master the skill of explaining the effects of heat
on materials. The scope of this module permits it to be used in
many different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in
which you read them can be changed to correspond with the
textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Sources of Heat
• Lesson 2 – The Effects of Heat on Materials

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the sources of heat;
2. explain the effects of heat on materials; and
3. observe safety measures in handling hot materials.
 What I Know

Identify the following. Choose the word from the word bank
below. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

decrease electric iron heat

increase sun volcano

1. What happens to the temperature of the material being

heated?
2. What is the main source of heat?
3. What will be produced after rubbing your hands?
4. Where did the lava come from?
5. What electrical appliance is used in pressing clothes?

Lesson

1 Sources of Heat

Heat is a form of energy. It is the result of the continuous

motion of small particles that compose all matter. When a
material is heated, these tiny particles called molecules vibrate
faster. If the molecules absorb more heat energy, they will vibrate
faster. As a result, the temperature will rise (Ramos and Apolinario,
2017).
 What’s In

Write letter H if the object is hot or C if it is cold. Write your

answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Boiling water

2. Ice cream

3. Sun

4. Ice

5. Fire
 What’s New

What did you feel after

playing under the sun? Did you
feel warm? Did you sweat all
over?
What you have felt is a
form of energy. Heat makes us
feel warm or hot (Abadilla, 2009)

What is It

Sources of Heat

Friction produces heat because it

causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces
to move faster and have more energy.
You will feel warm after rubbing your hands
against each other several times. It comes
from the increase in motion of molecules in
a body.

Sun is our main source of heat. The sun’s heat is absorbed by

the bodies of water, the ground, the plants, and the atmosphere.
(Ramos and Apolinario, 2017).
 Electricity is one of the sources of heat. We use many
electrical appliances for the heat they give.

Burning fuels can produce heat. A substance that combines

with oxygen rapidly produces heat fast enough to cause flame.
When coal, wood, natural gas, or any other fuel burns, substances
in the fuel combine with oxygen in the air to form heat. This
reaction is known as combustion (Ramos and Apolinario, 2017).
Example of combustion is the burning of gasoline in automobile
engines.
 There is also heat from deep inside the earth and it is called
Geothermal heat. We observe some of this heat when a volcano
erupts. We also have hot springs because of the heated hot rocks
within the earth.

Volcanic eruption Hot spring

 Lesson
The Effects of Heat on
2 Materials

Heat causes physical changes, sometimes chemical

changes in a substance also happen. A physical change is a
change in size, shape, or state of substance. There is no new
substance formed after a physical change. A chemical change
involves the formation of a new substance (Lemi, 2007).

What’s In

Identify the source of heat of each material. Choose the letter

of the correct answer in the box below. Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper.

A. Burning fuels B. Electricity C. Friction

D. Geothermal heat E. Sun

1. Oven toaster
2. Hot spring
3. Bonfire
4. Rubbing of hands
5. Drying of clothes
 What’s New

Do this activity. Ask for an assistance from an

adult. Be careful in handling hot objects.
Prepare a candle and a match.
Light the candle and observe how it changes
after 2 to 3 minutes.
What happened to the candle after being exposed to
heat?

What is It

Physical Change

A substance goes through physical change when heated or

cooled. The wax in which the candle is made of melts when
lighted or heated.

The change from solid to liquid is

called melting. Any solid material that
changes to liquid through the process of
heating undergoes melting. An ice cube
becomes liquid when it absorbs molecules
of heat (Lemi, 2007).
 When heat is applied
Water vapor
continuously to water, the particles
escape and enter the air as water
water
vapor. Water vapor is a gas. The
change of state from liquid to gas is
heat
called evaporation (Lemi, 2007).

Other examples of evaporation are drying of clothes under

the sun, ironing of clothes, drying of wet hair using a blower, and
drying of sweat from the body.

Chemical Change

Heat causes substance to change chemically. After heating,

a new substance may be formed.

Burning of wood coal Burning of paper ashes

Combustion is a chemical reaction that gives off heat and

light. Combustion produces heat
and fire. Example of combustion is
the burning of gasoline in
automobile engines. The process
produces heat that cause the
gases in the engine to expand and
move parts that make the engine
work.
