MEANING OF HEAT AND TEMPERATURE

HEAT

Heat is a form of energy that increases the level of hotness of the body.

TEMPERATURE

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of the body –water, iron, food etc.

Heat and temperature are often used as if they are used as the same thing.. When substance is hot, the temperature is high and when substance is less hot, the temperature is lower. Temperature can be measured with thermometer.

THERMOMETER

Thermometer is a device used for measuring the temperature of the body.

UNITA AND SYMBOLS OF TEMPERATURE SCALE

DEGREE CELSIUS (⁰C)

Hint- ⁰c to ⁰f, divide by 5, then multiply by 9, then add 32

Example1: convert 10⁰ Celsius to Fahrenheit

First, 10⁰/5=2

Then, 2×9 = 18

Then, 18 ± 32 = 50·F

Example 2: convert 35⁰ Celsius to Fahrenheit

First, 35⁰/5 = 7

Then, 7×9 = 63

Then, 63 ± 32 = 95·F

Pupil’s activities

Convert

1.20⁰ Celsius

15⁰ Celsius to Fahrenheit

UNIT AND SYMBOLS OF TEMPERATURE SCALE

DEGREE FAHRENHEIT

Hint- ⁰F to ⁰C: SUBTRACT 32. THEN MULTIPLY BY 5, AND THEN DIVIDE BY 9

Example 1: CONVERT 68⁰ Fahrenheit to Degree Celsius

First, 68-32 = 36

Then, 36×5 = 180

Therefore, 180/9 = 20⁰Celsius.

Example 2: CONVERT 81⁰ Fahrenheit to Degree Celsius

First, 81-32 = 49

Then, 49×5 = 245

Therefore, 245/9 =27.⁰ Celsius.

USES OF THERMOMETER

It is used to measure the outdoor temperature
It is used to measure body temperature
It is used to measure body temperature when someone is ill to determine if that person has fever.
It is used to measure the temperature of an experiment.
It is used to measure the temperature of a cold room
