Question
Answer
Heat   Heat is a form of energy.  
🗑
Heat Units   It is measured in Joules.  
🗑
Heat Travel from..?   Heat moves from hot areas to colder areas.  
🗑
Conduction   Conduction is the transfer of heat through a solid from particle to particle. Heat moves but particles don't.  
🗑
Convection   Convection is the transfer of heat through a liquid or gas. Molecules of the liquid or gas move upwards and carry the heat.  
🗑
Radiation   Radiation is the transfer of heat by rays without needing a medium to pass through.  
🗑
Insulator   Poor conductors.  
🗑
Conduction Experiment   Different Solid metal and non-metal Bars (horizontal - one end in boiling water), Pin and wax.  
🗑
Convection Experiment   Potassium Permanganate Crystals in water in a beaker. Lighted Candle under crystal.  
🗑
Expansion and Contraction   Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heated and contract when cooled  
🗑
Bimetallic Strip   A bimetallic strip consists of two metals (e.g.Copper and Iron) fused together which expand a different amount when heated. This causes the strip to bend when heated. They are used in thermostats, e.g. the thermostat in a smoke alarm.  
🗑
Water's Strange Property   Water is at its most dense at 4 degrees Celsius. When cooled below or heated above 4 degrees, it begins to expand.  
🗑
Experiment: Expansion Contraction of Solids   Ball and Ring. Ball expands when heated (doesn't fit through ring) and contracts when cooled.(passes through ring)  
🗑
Experiment: Expansion Contraction of Liquids   Round bottomed Flask with straw completely full. Level rises when heated.  
🗑
Experiment: Expansion Contraction of gases   Empty Round bottomed flask with straw. Straw placed in water. Bubbles with expansion. Water sucked up straw when cooled.  
🗑
Temperature   Temperature is a measurement of heat.  
🗑
Units of Temperature   Temperature is measured using a thermometer. It is measured in degrees Celsius.  
🗑
Freezing and Boiling points of Water.   Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.  
🗑
Amount of Heat Energy.   The amount of heat in a substance depends on the substance, its temperature and it’s mass.  
🗑
Latent Heat.   Heat that cause a change in state but not a change in temperature e.g. when ice melts with no rise in temperature.  
🗑
Effect of Increased Air Pressure on the Boiling Point of Water   Raises the Boiling Point above 100 degrees Celcius  
🗑
Effect of lowering the Air Pressure on the Boiling Point of Water   Decreases the Boiling Point above 100 degrees Celcius  
🗑
Effect of Dark Coloured Cans on heat transfer by radiation   Lose heat rapidly  
🗑
Effect of Light (silver) Coloured Cans on heat transfer by radiation   Lose heat slowly  
🗑
Poor Conductors   Polystyrene, Dry Air, Water, All are good insulators  
🗑
Poor Insulators   Metals. All are good conductors  
🗑
Heat travels in 3 ways   Conduction, Convection & Radiation  
🗑
To Investigate Conduction and Convection in Water Experiment   Test tube with water, ice and a coin to weigh it down. Boil the water at the mouth of the tube with a bunsen burner while ice stays at bottom  
🗑
To Show Transfer of Heat by Radiation   Two cans - one shiny outer surface & one dull black outer surface both filled with boiling water. Thermometers in each show a drop in temp with the black can losing heat faster.  
🗑
Cooling Curve   A graph showing how temperature changes over time as a substance cools.  
🗑
Latent Heat of Fusion   When heat changes a solid to a liquid with NO temperature change  
🗑
Latent Heat of Vapourisation   When heat changes a liquid into a gas with NO change in temperature  
🗑
How to show Water expands when cooled below 4 degrees celsius   Place a glass bottle (with a tightly fitting lid) filled to the top with water in a freezer overnight. It shatters due to the water expanding as it turns to ice  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
