Heat Sources

Heat Sources
Heat Sources are things that make
heat by themselves.
Friction, electricity and burning are 3
heat sources.

Friction is the force of 2 things


rubbing or sliding against each other.
When you rub your hands together to
keep warm, friction is what makes
the heat and warms you up.

Burning is when something is on fire,


and fire creates heat.

Electricity is energy that flows from


the movement of electric charge
(electrons).
Insulators are not heat sources, but they
keep things warm. An insulator is
something that can keep heat inside. It is
not easy for heat to escape from a good
insulator. Heat moves slowly through an
insulator.

Conductors do not hold heat well. They


pass heat very quickly. They heat up
quickly, and they cool down quickly when
we remove the heat source.
