Uses of Heat in Real Life

Hi Children!

I'm so glad that you have made your way to this blog to attempt on this week's challenge.

Now that we have learnt about the effects of heat on things around us; solid, liquid and gas, I will need you to think and answer the following questions:

1) How is heat used in real life? Quote at least 2 examples.

2) Briefly explain how they work.

In your answers, you might want to use the following words:

gain/lost/contract/expand/heat

3) Comment meaningfully on at least 2 of your friends' comments.
Remember to build on each other's knowledge rather than to give a "correct" or "wrong" reply if possible.

Have fun!

Mr Ang

    1. Maybe you can use the dryer too. Electricity converts to heat energy to dry up the clothes.

  4. It is often used to heat homes and factories directly, and it is often used in the chemical industry and oil refineries to make processes work
    Another big use of heat energy is in generating electricity in power plants

    heat is needed a lot in our daily lives. Why is heat important? Heat is important because it is an invisible substance that keeps us warm. Heat appears in many things like fire. Heat is also necessary when you are cooking a specific dish in the oven, microwave or stove.

  38. The heat and light produced by the sun provide an enormous source of energy. A number of technologies, such as photovoltaic (PV) cells, have been developed to harness this energy so it can be used as a power source for generating electricity and heat (solar heating).

  39. Dear friends,

    We use heat all over the world. Heat is used to cook, heat water, in factories, to give warmth and can convert the light from the sun to solar energy.

    heat is used for cooking food and keeping us warm.the food gain heat from the fire under the wok.the air in the room gain heat from heater.

  47. Heat used in real life can be used like a jacket. A jackets warmth can flow into the body so the person wearing the jacket can feel their body getting warm.The coldness of the body can go to the jacket.Heat will flow from hotter objects to colder objects until both are at the same tempereture.

  49. We use heat to keep ourselves warm whenever we are feeling cold. This is because we use fire to keep ourselevs warm and the fire is a heat source. The fire will lose heat to our body and our body gains heat from the fire. That's why we feel warm when we are near fire and many other heat sources.

    Have you ever wondered how a jacket keeps you warm? This is how!

    A jacket works by using your body heat to warm you. The jacket acts as a trap to keep in warmth.

  58. Dear friends,

    Heat is widely used around the world. It is used in houses, in industries and many more. Example, at home, heat from the sun is used to dry clothes and to preserve food. Heat from electricity is used to iron clothes, for water heater and to bake or toast. Heat from burning fuels is used to cook food and boil water. Heat is used in industries as well to generate electricity in a power plant, to melt, shape, cut and harden metals and to process food, glass, paper and textiles.

    Rub your hands together fast. Feel the heat? That’s friction. It’s the resistance to movement of one object – your hand -- by the other object – your other hand. In the process, kinetic energy changes into heat energy. The more resistance there is, the more friction produced. More friction means more heat. A polished surface, like a gym floor or a lane in a bowling alley, reduces friction. That’s why a bowling ball rolls fast down the lane towards the pins. (As long as your aim is good!) If the alley was covered in carpet, there would be more friction. The ball would slow and wobble and could even stop partway to its destination.

    The engines in our cars and trucks create heat too.
    For wider scale transportation, steam engines power locomotives and steamships. Within a steam engine, water is heated by burning coal, wood, or oil. The heated water turns to steam. Steam moves a piston or blade, which turns a wheel. In this way, a steam engine uses heat and turns it into work.

    Heat is a Form of Energy



    All forms of matter, from a cold slab of marble to your own skin, have some temperature. Different materials conduct heat in different ways, but heat will always flow from the hotter material to the colder material. Take the example of an aluminum can and a Styrofoam cup. Your body temperature is hotter (usually) than both of those objects. If you hold one in each hand the heat from your hands transfers to the can and the cup. Because aluminum conducts heat better it will transfer the heat throughout the can. Styrofoam is not a good conductor, so the heat stays mainly where your hand is touching the cup. The can feels cooler, but that is only because the heat has been transferred to the entire can.

    Solar Energy



    Heat can be created in many ways, but the most basic, natural form is solar heat. Solar energy is just that; heat produced by the sun and absorbed by other materials. Dark-colored objects absorb light and heat faster than light-colored objects. Dark objects also store heat longer. Light-colored objects appear lighter because they are reflecting most of the solar heat away rather than absorbing it. For this reason solar panels used to create electricity are black

    2.Electricity gives energy to the iron so that it gains heat to iron our clothes. The gas in the gas stove converts to heat energy to cook our food.

    heat is energy transferred from one body to another and so on by thermal reactions.
