 What I Need to Know

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

here to help you master the skills in inferring how heat travels from
hot to cold. 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 – How Heat Travels from Hot to Cold
• Lesson 2 – Effects of Heat Transfer

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. describe the methods of heat transfer through conduction,
convection and radiation;
2. infer the effects of heat transfer; and
3. value the importance of heat transfer to our daily activities.

 Lesson
Heat Travels from Hot to
1 Cold
Heat flows from hot objects to cold objects. It flows from one
object to another because of their temperature difference. The
cold object absorbs the energy and becomes warmer.

What’s In

Identify whether the changes in the materials when heated is a

physical or chemical change. Write your answers on a separate
sheet of paper.

 What’s New

Have you accidentally

touched a hot panhandle? How
the handle of a pan gets hot even
though it is not directly place in
the source of heat?

What is It

It is natural for energy to flow from one place to another.

Heat naturally flows in one direction only: from hot toward cold.
Heat travels in three ways: by conduction, convection, and
radiation.

Conduction
Conduction is a method of heat transfer through particles
from one part of a substance to its adjoining parts (Lemi, 2007).
Some materials conduct heat better than others. Metal, for
example, is a good conductor of heat. We use metal in pots and
pans to cook because it will move the heat from the flame to our
food quickly.
Put a pan on a stovetop and
turn on the heat. The metal sitting over
the burner will be the first part of the pan
to get hot. The heat will transfer from a
hot burner on the stove into a pan.

9
Convection
Convection is the flow of heat caused by the motion of a
liquid or a gas. It is known for having a circular pattern in heat
transfer. Convection occurs only in liquids and
gases.
A good example of this is the heating
of water in a kettle. As water is heated, the
molecules that make up the water rise,
and the heat spreads. It is a circular flow
of rising warm water and falling cooler
water sets up.

Radiation
The sun is the main source of heat and light and other forms
of energy on Earth. The heat from the sun reaches the Earth in the
form of radiation.

Radiation is the transfer of energy in the

form of waves. Radiant energy travels very
fast like the light. Energy is radiated from the
sun through empty space or air directly to
materials (Lemi, 2007).

Heat radiation is the flow of heat between objects that are

not in contact with each other. Another example is the heat felt
by someone sitting near a distant fire.

 Lesson

2 Effects of Heat Transfers

Heat transfer is an essential part of our daily lives. Heat is

present when we are cooking, heating the water and drying the
washed clothes. Factories that produce essential products for our
daily living use heat too.

What’s In
Classify the kind of heat transfer that takes place in the
following situations. Write conduction, convection, or radiation as
your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1. melting of ice on your hand
2. ironing a wrinkled shirt
3. cooking food in a microwave
4. the sun warming the surface of the rock
5. the spoon in a bowl of soup becomes warmer

What’s New

What happens to your

colorful marshmallow when
roasted? What is the effect
on the materials when the
heat is transferred?

15
 What is It

Heat transfer produces changes in materials. These changes

bring effect. One of the effects of it is the change in temperature.
Heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it.

Conduction
In our daily living, heat transfer by conduction is the most
common. Roasting marshmallow, grilling hotdog and barbecue,
and cooking our food are good examples of conduction. The
heat from the grill will transfer to the food. The effect of heat will
cause changes in the appearance of the food that we are about
to eat.

With the right amount of

heat to grill food will produce
good results.

Too much heat when grilling will

lead to the burning of food.

16
Convection
During summer when the weather is hot, air-conditioners are
used constantly. The cold air is released by the air-conditioners.
The cold air will make the warm room cold. Convection on this
situation affects the temperature of the room.

Radiation
Why do wet clothes dry more quickly in the sunshine as
compared to gloomy weather?

The heat coming from the sun makes the wet clothes dry. As
the heat of the sun reaches the clothes, the water dries up.
