Heat – Test Review
 Heat – is energy, which transfers from hotter substances to colder ones
 Temperature – measure of the average energy of motion of particles of a substance
 Temperature Scales – freezing and boiling points
o Kelvin
o Celsius – temp of human = 37 C
o Fahrenheit
 Thermometer
 Expansion
 Contraction
 Thermostat
 Thermocouple
 Particle Theory and Heat – what happens when heat is applied to objects in different
states

Changes of State Organizer – chart with name of change, what the state is at the start
and finish, and if heat is removed or added
 Ice to Water to Steam Lab
 Heat and Convection
o What is convection
o Convection demonstration – peppercorns/food coloring in water
o Diagram of air warming and rising (less dense). Cool air falls (more dense). Cool
air replaces warming air.
o Thermal
 Conduction
o Conduction demonstration – water and balloon
o Definition of conduction
o What makes a good conductor
 Radiation
o Definition of radiation
o House example –raising temp through the heat of the sun
 Water Cycle – be able to label the water cycle and know the terms – infiltration,
precipitation, condensation, transpiration, accumulation, evaporation, runoff.

Wasted heat – where do people lose heat and how can they prevent this?
Why do people not add energy-efficient features to their homes?
Thermograph
R-values- What is it?
Define: Heat Capacity
High and low heat capacities: what does this mean?
Water and heat capacity – takes a long time to heat up and cool down
Energy Sources
Renewable and Non-renewable energy
Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical and Nuclear Energy (fusion and fission)
Heat Pollution
Lubricant
Cogeneration
Solar Heat – why is it important
 Passive solar heating
 Active solar heating
 Greenhouse effect
