What is Heat Energy?
Energy is the ability to do work.
Kinetic Energy
Heat Energy
Heat is a form of energy. We use it for
warming our homes and cooking our
food.

How is Heat Transferred?
Heat travels through conduction, convection
and radiation.

How Heat Changes Matter?
Phase changes happen when certain points are
reached: freezing point, boiling point and
melting point.
Heat Makes a Difference
• Particles in a solid move very little.
• Particles in a liquid move and flow.
• Particles in a gas move around quickly.

We often use the Fahrenheit scale to measure
temperature.

What is insulation?
Insulation is a barrier that minimizes the
transfer of heat energy from one material to
another by reducing the conduction, convection
and/or radiation effects.

Greenhouse Effect
The Greenhouse Effect is the rise in temperature in the
Earth’s atmosphere due to the greenhouse gases
trapping energy from the sun.
