What is Heat Energy?

Energy is the ability to do work.

Kinetic Energy

Heat Energy

Heat is a form of energy. We use it for warming our homes and cooking our

food.

How Heat Changes Matter?

Phase changes happen when certain points are reached: freezing point,

boiling point and melting point.

Heat Makes a Difference

• Particles in a solid move very little.• Particles in a liquid move and flow.• Particles in a gas move around

quickly.

Measuring and Preserving Heat Energy

We often use the Fahrenheit scale to measure temperature.

What is insulation?

Insulation is a barrier that minimizes the

transfer of heat energy from one material to

another by reducing the conduction, convection

and/or radiation effects.

Renewable and Non renewable Energy

Greenhouse EffectThe Greenhouse Effect is the rise in

temperature in the Earth’s atmosphere due to the greenhouse gases trapping

energy from the sun.To learn about the Greenhouse Effect explore the EPA
