1. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
Heat is closely related
but not the same as
temperature
Heat is a flow of
energy from one
object at a higher
temperature to an
object at a lower

2. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
If you add energy to heat, at a certain point the energy will
go up. Then the
temperature will
no longer go up
and heat will
change the
physical
state of water.
(Steam)

3. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
Heat is always the transfer on energy from an object of an higher temperature to a lower temperature.
When energy flows
from a warmer object
to a cooler object,
the thermal energy of both
of the objects changes.

4. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
When you put ice cubes in a pitcher of lemonade this is another example of thermal energy
Energy is transferred from the warmer lemonade to the colder ice.
As energy is transferred the average kinetic energy decreases.
Why?

5. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
The most common units of heat measurement are the calorie and the joule.
One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
Everyone thinks
of a calorie in terms
of food, correct?

6. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
One calorie is equal to one kilocalorie or 1000 calories
This means that one calorie in terms of food contains enough energy to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius

7. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
Each calorie in food contains 1000 calories of energy
They figure a calorie in food by using a calorimeter. They heat the food item such as cake.

8. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
In the scientific community a joule is used to measure energy

9. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
One calorie is equal to 4.18 joules
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius is specific heat
Basically each substance absorbs a different amount of energy required to increase overall temperature

10. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
The larger the mass is the more kinetic energy it will have. Therefore the larger item will have a higher specific heat.
The temperature of larger bodies of water such as lakes also affect the temperatures of its shores.

11. Energy flows from warmer to cooler objects
During the spring/summer the lake warms slowly which keeps the shore cool
During the fall/winter the lake cools slowly, which keeps the shore warmer
