our first topic i want you to discuss in this blog is what you have learnt so far in the heat, light and sound unit. I also want you to fins 3 interesting facts about heat and post them here!!
Remember you MUST post a comment at least once a week!!

in the heat light and sound topic i learned that there is lots of different energy in our world.
interesting fact 1 without heat nothing on this planet would be able to live without heat.
intersting fact2 half of your body heat can get lost through your head
interesting fact3 heat is a natural source of power

Energy can't be created or destroyed; it only changes forms.
The more molecules a substance has, the more heat energy.
A bomb calorater can measure energy in animals and plants.

In this topic so far i have learnt that things like metal and steel are not cold but they just feel like that compared to things that are warmer for example like rubbing/sliding your hands together to make friction, then touching metal it feels cold but it's not.

I learnt that there are many different types of energy(heat, light, kinetic, solar, chemical, ect...).
fact1. Michael Faraday invented the first electric motor.
Fact 2. If it could be properly harnessed, enough sunlight falls on the earth in just one hour to meet world energy demands for a whole year!!!
Fact 3. Hoover Dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona and California.

i learnt that heat can be transefered into another form of energy such as light and that heat travells in waves. i also learnt that there is always the same amount of energy in the universe and every form of matter has heat. 1 fact that i learnt about radiation is that the heat from the sun travells by radiation to get to earth

I learnt that everything contains heat energy- even snow and ice. I also learnt that the earth contains the same amount of energy and energy can't be created or destroyed. Conduction, convection and radiation are all ways heat transfers. I learnt that conduction happens best in a solid.

I have learnt that......

Absolutely every thing has heat energy!!
even an ice block or an ice berg. There is no way heat can be created in any way or destroyed. There is a certain amount of energy in the world and that amount will never change.

CONVECTION:
Convection transfers heat through the flow of particles.

>Heat is the process of energy transfer from one body or system to another

I learned about what energy is and how it can be transferred, transformed etc.

Conduction is the transfer of energy between neighboring molecules in a substance.

What I learnt in Science
CONDUCTiON...
Conduction is the flow of heat through a solid. when you rub your hands together, you can feel warmths through your hands

TODAY IN SCIENCE I LEARNT....
that energy is a necessity of life!!!

ok so i think i explained conduction when i was talking about earlier.
Conduction is when heat is transfered from 1 substance to another solids are the best example because when one hot solid is nxt to a cooler solid it heats up fast. this happens because a solids molicules are tightly packed together and each molicule will pass it on to the next until it is fully heated.

oh yeah! thats a full explanation right there Mrs. Cracknell and i was first to comment in 7d so wooo!!

i learnt that:
-heat energy can not be created or destroyed
-it can be transfered and/or transfomed
-Temperature= speed
-heat energy= mass and speed

Convection is particles moving to make heat energy (also convection currents)

I learnt that energy can be changed
to another type of energy eg. electric energy changes to heat energy in a light globe.
Every substance has heat even cold
things like ice have heat.

Convection is much like conduction apart from the fact that convection is heat transfering through liquids rather
than solids.

I learnt that heat travels by conduction when fast moving particles collide with other particles making them move faster. Heat can travel from one object to another or straight through objects. Depending on what substance it is heat travels at different speeds from conduction.

Conduction is when particles are heated they begin to move faster and collide with each other passing heat energy along the object.

Solids are best at conduction because the particles are very close to each other.

Conduction is when particles are heated and they collide together at a fast rate. As particles keep colliding together, the energy is tranferd along the object. Solids are the best at conduction because the particles are very closer together.

Well i already learnt this stuff about heat light and sound from my tudor but I'm sure you will help me expand even further into the subject
To: Ms Cracknell

I learnt that energy can be transferred and transformed and can't be destroyed.And i actually learnt that bigger objects have more molucules which means more heat!!!

Conduction is when heat expands through a substance through it's molecules transferring heat energy.

Convection is when heat travels upways because something that is heated is ligher than the same object that isn't. In water, the top layer (surface tension) is hotter than water that is lower.

Radiation comes from the sun,light bulbs lamps. Things that emitt heat. Radiated heat can be transmitted, absorbed or reflected depending what surface it has hit.

Tramsit through glass
Reflect off metal
Absorb in black surfaces

Hope i didn't bore you...

today i learnt that when trying to heat something by adding a hotter version of the substance, quantity is better than quality.

2 facts i learnt are:
1. 50 degrees bucket of water can heat up a pool faster than a cup of 100 degree water.
2.a statue of ice can still burn you.

convection currents are very simple, as the hot water rises the cold water goes to the bottom this is in fact how hot water systems work.
