 Lesson

1 Heat’s Amazing

What's In

There you go! Now, may I ask you, have you ever wondered how you can feel
the heat even if the sun is so far away from us? Or why is it cooler to wear a white
shirt on a sunny day than a black shirt? In your earlier grades, you learned that heat
moves from the source to other objects or places. Example is the kettle with water
placed on top of a burning stove. What do you think will happen to the water? Do
you think the water will get hot or remain cold?

This module will give you a better understanding about the methods of heat
transfer and how it is being used in your everyday lives. But before that let us try to
guess the word described by the letters and pictures below. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.

 What's New

Hello dear! I hope you have a good day! Now let us proceed with a new lesson
to be presented through a poem. This poem will give your ideas that will lead you to
answer the following activities given in this module. Are you excited? Let’s start!

Activity I
Define heat and determine methods of heat transfer.

Heat’s Everywhere
by: Princess C. Bagaforo
Heat that keeps our days warm
Can be transferred in three ways
Conduction, convection, radiation
All are in motion
Heat that flows from hot object to cold object
Is a natural process of heat effect
As temperature is to hotness or coldness of an object
Thermal energy is to temperature differences between objects

Heat affects you in so many ways

From the warmth of the fireplace and
Light of the sun that strikes you in every ways
All are in motion due to heat’s radiation
Heat that is hard to beat
Can be carried from place to place without retreat
When warm air and cold air compete
All fluids and gases are in motion due to convection of heat
Heat can be transferred through direct contact of a material
Is a process which is essential
Conductor is to metal objects, as insulator is to plastic objects
All are in motion due to heat’s conduction.

Guide Questions:

1. What are the three methods of heat transfer stated in the poem?
2. What is ‘heat’ as stated in the poem?
3. How do you differentiate heat from temperature?
4. How does the heat flow on materials having different temperatures?

CO_Q3_Science 7_ Module 6

Procedure:
1. Fill the mug with boiling water.
2. Put all three spoons (wooden spoon, plastic spoon, and metal spoon) into the
mug.
3. Arrange the spoons properly. Their handles should not touch one another.
4. After five minutes, feel the handle of each spoon. Try to observe which spoon
still feels hot and which spoon already feels cold.

 What is It

What is Heat?
Have you ever heard of the term “thermal energy” before? Any object is said to
possess thermal energy due to its particles whether at rest or in motion. How is heat
related to thermal energy? Thermal energy refers to the energy contained within a
system that is responsible for its temperature. Heat is the flow of thermal energy.

When energy is transformed, such as thermal energy, heat is always

produced. Heat is an energy that is transferred from one object to another object due
to the difference in their temperature. It is simply called as ‘energy in transit’. Heat
transfer is related to change in temperature. Temperature refers to the relative
hotness or coldness of an object. An instrument used for measuring and indicating
temperature is called ‘thermometer’.

Methods of Heat Transfer

Conduction
Convection

Radiation
Illustrator: Richele Mae Cajandig

Conduction

Conduction takes place between objects that are in contact with each other.
The energy is transferred through particles that are close or in contact with each
other, but it is dominant in solids only. Materials that conduct heat well are called
thermal conductors (good conductors) such as metals like copper, iron, aluminum,
steel, silver, brass, lead etc. Whereas materials that conduct heat poorly are known
as thermal insulators (poor conductors) some examples are non-metals like wood,
rubber, plastic, glass, paper etc.
These insulators have many important applications. Have you ever wondered
why some utensils have handles that are made of wood or plastic? Wood and plastic,
being thermal insulators, reduces the heat flowing from the food being cooked to the
utensils and finally to the person cooking the food.

CO_Q3_Science 7_ Module 6
Convection
Convection is the process in which heat is carried from place to place by the
bulk movement of a fluid against its surroundings. Fluids are materials that can flow,
and they include both gases and liquids. The movement of steam or the motion
of boiling water in a pot are examples of convection.
Radiation
Radiation is a method of heat transfer in the absence of matter or through
space. Objects with dark surfaces absorbs more heat than objects with bright
surfaces. When you stay under the sun, your body feels hot because it absorbs
energy from the sun. The same thing happens when you put your hand near a
lightbulb or stand near a bonfire. The electromagnetic waves carry energy from the
fire to your body. Thus, fire and lightbulbs also emit electromagnetic waves. The
process of transferring energy through electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
The color black is associated with the nearly complete absorption of visible
light, whereas the color white is associated with shiny surfaces reflecting so much
visible light. A material that is a good absorber of heat is also a good emitter of heat.
Similarly, a material that is a poor absorber of heat is also a poor emitter of heat.
People are uncomfortable wearing dark clothes during the summer because
the color black is a good absorber of heat. Dark clothes absorb a large fraction of the
sun’s radiation. On the other hand, white fabric or light-colored clothes feels cooler
because it absorbs less heat from the sun’s radiation. The color white is a good
reflector of heat.

What's More

Activity I.
Directions: Read and understand the questions carefully. Identify the method

What is It

When energy is transformed, such as thermal energy, heat is always

produced. Heat is an energy that is transferred from one object to another due to the
difference in their temperature. It is simply called as energy in transit. Heat naturally
transfers from a high temperature object to a low temperature object. Heat transfer
stops when both objects are of the same temperature. Heat can be transferred in
three ways: through conduction, convection and radiation.

Conduction takes place between objects that are in contact with each other.
The energy is transferred through particles that are in contact with each other.
Particles that are in contact with the higher temperature object tend to vibrate faster
therefore transferring the energy to the adjacent particles

Convection is a heat transfer between fluids as liquids and gases of different

temperature which involves mass movement of the fluids. Particles receiving the
energy tend to move faster thus it spreads out and becomes less dense. Hot fluids
are less dense and it rises.

Radiation is a heat transfer in the absence of matter or through space via

electromagnetic waves. Objects with dark surfaces absorbed more heat than objects
with bright surfaces. Particles can absorb radiation gaining heat energy.

21

CO_Q3_Science 7_ Module 6
 Heat transfer continues until the two objects have reached thermal
equilibrium where the objects have the same temperature. The discussion of heat
transfer has been structured around some everyday examples such as the cooling of
a hot mug of coffee and the warming of a cold can of pop.

Heat transfer is evident everywhere around us. The illustration depicts several
situations that involve heat transfer.

Objects exchange radiation

with each other and with
the sky. Warmer objects lose

come into contact.

How energy moves through the atmosphere

Conduction, radiation and convection all play a role in moving heat between
Earth's surface and the atmosphere.

Energy can travel as electromagnetic waves through air or empty space. The
Sun's energy travels through space by radiation. After sunlight heats the planet's
surface, some heat radiates back into the atmosphere. Most energy transfer by
conduction occurs near the Earth's surface. Conduction directly affects air
temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight
heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At
night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above the
surface to the cooler ground via conduction. Convection happens in a liquid or a gas.
Air near the ground is warmed by heat radiating from Earth's surface. The warm air
is less dense, so it rises. As it rises, it cools. The cool air is dense, so it sinks to the
surface. Convection is the most important way that heat travels in the atmosphere.

How Heat is Transferred in Cooking

Cooking of food makes use of the different methods of heat transfer.
Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact. When cooking on the stovetop,
the heat from the flame or electric grill is applied directly to the frying pan. This
means that only the flat surface of the pan is sufficiently hot enough to cook anything
and we must flip and toss around the food to cook it properly. It is important to note
that most pans are made of metals, like copper, that conduct heat very efficiently
and do not melt on the stove top. Convection is heat transfer through a fluid. The
fluid can be liquid or gas and in the case of a convection oven, the fluid we care about
is air. An oven is a confined area that gets hot by flames or electric coils. The air
inside is warmed to a desired temperature and, as a result, cooks the food from all
directions. This method of heat transfer is responsible for cooking pizzas, cakes, and

22

CO_Q3_Science 7_ Module 6
other baked treats. Radiation is the transfer of heat using electromagnetic radiation.
A microwave oven uses microwaves, a form of electromagnetic radiation with long
wavelength and low frequency and energy. Microwave ovens work by causing water
molecules inside the food to vibrate. This causes friction, which produces heats that
cooks the food.

 What I Have Learned

Directions: Read, understand, and answer the question carefully. Write your answer
on a separate sheet of paper.
Conduction:
This is the movement of heat from hotter parts to cooler parts from one atom or
particle to another particle without any movement of the substance itself.
1. What will happen when a metal rod is placed in a hot water?

Convection:
This is transfer of heat through the movement of fluid (liquid or gas) from hotter to
cooler parts.
2. Draw a diagram to show the movement of particles when water was
heated. Use three arrows to represent your diagram.
Radiation:
This is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. This type of energy transfer
travel through space without a medium.
3. Why do you feel the heat from a fire when you seat near it?
