What Is Tem erature. WWilI 11111M-Y10 Name: How does temperature work? Temperature is a scale that compares how fast molecules of heat are moving. When a substance is heated, the temperature rises because heat makes its molecules move faster. This is true of water, toast, soup, or an electric wire. There are two major scales for measuring temperature. The Fahrenheit scale has 32°F as the freezing point of water. It sets 212°F as the boiling point of water. A reading of 0°F is the freezing point of a water and salt mixture. The inventor of this scale and the first closedtube mercury thermometer was Daniel Fahrenheit. He did this in 1713. Galileo is credited with inventing the first working thermometer in 1592. The Celsius scale measures heat on a scale using 0°C for the freezing point of water. It has 100°C for the boiling point of water. Anders Celsius, a Swiss astronomer, invented the scale in 1742. He first had 0 as the boiling point and 100 as the freezing point. A famous Swedish biologist named Carolus Linnaeus switched the scale to what is now in use. The Celsius thermometer is commonly used in most of the world, with the exception of the United States and a few smaller countries. Scientists use the Celsius scale for ordinary work. However, in 1842 Lord William Thomson Kelvin developed the scale most preferred by scientists. In the Kelvin scale, water boils at 373.2 degrees. It freezes at 273.2 degrees and records absolute zero at 0 degrees. The lowest possible temperature is called absolute zero. However, absolute zero can never actually be achieved. It is a theory based on no movement by molecules at all and no pressure on molecules in a gas. Absolute zero on the Fahrenheit scale is -459.7°F. Nothing could live at that temperature.

'ame: Heat is the combined energy created by moving molecules. When you hold your hand above a stove or any source of heat, the warmth you feel is the movement of billions of fast-moving molecules. The molecules above a cold fireplace, on the other hand, have not been set in motion. Heat radiates from its source, such as a fireplace, and heats up the air near the source. Heat moves in three different ways. Radiation is the spread of heat as rays that are invisible waves. There is no direct contact with the source. Convection is another method of heat movement. This occurs when warm air rises through cooler air. The air becomes less dense as it expands, and it is lighter than the cool air surrounding the warmer air. A hot-air balloon works because of convection. The warm air rises and lifts the balloon through the colder air. Conduction is the movement of heat from hot materials to cold ones. The moving molecules of warm air crash into the colder molecules, excite them, and start them moving into other cold molecules. This is why some parts of a room are warmer than others when you first start a stove or furnace. The best conductors of heat are metals such as copper and iron. Feel the metal buttons on a piece of clothing when you are sitting next to a hot stove or fireplace. They will be much hotter than the cloth. Insulators are materials that conduct heat more slowly. They retain the heat and keep things warm. Wood, wool, and water are good insulators. Directions: Use the information above to answer these questions. 1. Name the three ways that heat moves. 2.

It is the ability to make things happen. I of energy are a snowball rolling down a hill, a car in The total amount of energy in the universe has stayed motion, or a falling baseball. the same since the very first moment in time. Energy is Energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be burned up. never really lost or gained. It just moves or changes. Energy, which is converted to heat, is not destroyed. Energy does its work either by transfer from one form of However, it is hard to use again because the heat energy to another or by conversion. The transfer of spreads out in all directions. Energy cannot be reused energy occurs when energy moves from one place to once it has been turned to heat. Scientists call energy another. When heat rises or a football is kicked, energy that has become unusable "entropy." Energy moves is transferred. Conversion of energy happens when from areas of high energy to areas of low energy and wind power produces electricity or coal is burned to from areas of heat to areas of cold. The nature of produce heat. energy is summed up in two laws of thermodynamics. Scientists define two broad types of energy. One is The first law says that the total energy of the universe potential energy. This type of energy is stored up and was fixed forever at the beginning of time. The second ready to use. Examples of this energy are a squeezed law says that energy is lost every time it is used. So spring ready to snap out or an object ready to fall. entropy in the universe keeps increasing. Kinetic energy is moving energy. Examples of this kind What Did You Learn 1. The ability to make things happen is a definition of what scientific term?

A stretched rubber band, an apple ready to fall from a tree, and a spring that is stretched are forms of potential energy. So is food stored in an organism and ready to use. Kinetic Energy Kinetic energy is demonstrated in moving objects. The word kinetic means "moving or resulting from motion." A moving rubber band when it is snapped, a falling apple from a tree, and a spring that is in motion are examples of kinetic energy.
