    Heat is a form of energy that can come from natural sources like the sun or artificial sources like microwaves. It allows materials to change forms reversibly, like chocolate melting and solidifying, or irreversibly, like cooking an egg. Temperature is measured using thermometers and shows how hot or cold something is.

    Heat

    Heat is a form of energy. It can be found in natural and artificial


    forms. The greatest natural source of heat on Earth is the Sun.
    Without it, no animal or plant life would be able to survive.
    Artificial forms of heat, also known as man-made forms of heat,
    include items such as microwave ovens and kettles.

    Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. Temperature can be


    measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Thermometers are used to
    measure temperature. At 100°C water will boil and it will begin to change from
    a liquid to a gas. At 0°C water will begin to freeze and will start to change from
    a liquid to a solid.

    The temperature beneath the surface of the Earth is extremely hot. It is


    here that you will find magma, which is melted rock. When
    a volcano erupts, it is the magma that makes its way to the
    surface of the Earth and flows out of the volcano. The heat
    that is in the Earth can be used in some heating systems,
    particularly in modern homes. This type of heating is known
    as geothermal.

    Conduction is the name for the movement of heat between objects.


    Heat likes to move from hot objects to cooler objects. Some
    materials allow heat to move through them easily and these materials are called
    conductors. Metal is an example of a good conductor of heat. However, there
    are also materials that stop heat moving through them and these materials are
    known as insulators. Wood is an example of a good insulator.

    Heat can change the form that some materials take, for
    example, when we heat chocolate it melts and changes to a
    liquid. When we take the heat away from the chocolate, it’s
    temperature will decrease, and it will become a solid once
    again. This is sometimes called a reversible change.

    Sometimes heat changes the form of a material


    irreversibly. For example, heating an egg on
    a frying pan will cause the egg to change
    completely. This change cannot be reversed by
    cooling the egg. This change, created by the
    heat, is a permanent change.

    Heat

    Answers
    1. What is heat?
    Heat is a form of energy.

    2. Explain the difference between artificial and natural heat sources?


    Natural sources of heat occur naturally on planet Earth, for example, the Sun. Artificial
    sources of heat are man-made and are not found naturally on Earth, for example, a
    microwave.

    3. Why is the sun important?


    The sun is the greatest source of heat on Earth and without it plants and animals would
    struggle to survive.

    4. Give three sources of heat in your home or school and state whether they are artificial or
    natural sources of heat.
    Teacher check.

    5. Where does geothermal heat come from?


    Geothermal heat uses the heat deep in the ground.

    6. What is conduction?
    Conduction is the name for the movement of heat between objects.

    7. Can heat travel through all types of materials?


    No, some materials are insulators and they stop heat travelling through them.

    8. What can be used to measure temperature?


    Thermometers are used to measure temperature.

    9. Give an example of how heat can create a reversible change in a material?


    When we heat chocolate, it melts and changes to a liquid but when the heat is removed
    from the chocolate it will become a solid once again.

    10. Describe a permanent change that can occur when heat is applied to a material?
    A permanent change occurs when heating an egg on a frying pan as the egg will change
    completely and cannot return to its original state.
