Heat and Temperature

Heat & Temperature

Heat is the transfer of energy from one part of a substance to another, or from one body to another because of a difference in temperature. Heat always flows from a substance at a higher temperature to the substance at a lower temperature, raising the temperature of the latter and lowering that of the former substance, provided the volume of the bodies remains constant.

Temperature vs. Heat
Grade: 3 - 9
The lesson explains that heat refers to quantity of hotness, and is determined by the mass and speed of molecules. It demonstrates that a bucket of water at a temperature of 50°C contains more heat than a cup of water at 100°C.

Temperature and Heat: A Discussion
Grade: 3 - 9
A presentation on temperature and heat.
2:30
 

Measuring Temperature
Grade: 3 - 9
Learn how Swedish scientist Anders Celsius invented the Celsius thermometer, using the expansion of mercury as a measure of temperature.
4:50
 

Different Temperature Scales
Grade: 3 - 9
The lesson discusses the different temperature scales, and conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.
1:40
 

Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion
Grade: 3 - 9
A chemistry tutorial on converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
1:20
 

Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion
Grade: 3 - 9
A chemistry tutorial on converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Heat as Energy
Grade: 3 - 9
The lesson explains that whenever there is movement and friction between two objects, heat is produced. Since movement is a form of energy, it follows that heat must also be a form of energy.
4:50
 

Radiation Waves
Grade: 3 - 9
The lesson explains that one of the main ways in which heat energy moves is in the form of waves. This kind of heat transfer is called radiation.
4:50
 

Radiation Spectrum
Grade: 3 - 9
The lesson explains that the waves of heat energy radiated by the Sun come in many forms, which together make a band, or spectrum, of energy waves.
4:50
 

Video on Conduction
Grade: 3 - 9
Introduces the concept of conduction, explaining that the application of heat to an object makes the molecules or atoms vibrate faster and causes a 'domino effect' that carries heat energy across the object.
4:50
 

Video on Convection
Grade: 3 - 9
Introduces the concept of convection, explaining how the principle of buoyancy is responsible for the process of heat transfer called convection.
4:50
 

Heat Transfer Demo - Conduction, Convection and Radiation
Grade: 3 - 9
The presentation demonstrates three experiments about heat conductivity.
6:15
 

Which is the Better Insulator?
Grade: 3 - 9
Learn about insulators with an experiment. Cups full of water are placed into bowls of liquid nitrogen. Find out which cup insulates the best?
5:00
 

Melting Point of Metals
Grade: 3 - 9
A presentation about melting point of various metals.
3:50
 

The Race for Absolute Zero
Grade: 3 - 9
A physicist explains how matter changes as it is reduced in temperature and nears absolute zero (-459.67 F or -213.15 C). Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature, and at that temperature no heat energy remains in the matter.
