Most plastics can easily be melted and moulded
into different shapes for different purposes
A conductor is a material which electricity,
heat or sound can flow through.
An electrical conductor conducts electricity
Basically, when it comes to conducting heat,
not all substances are created equal.

Metals and stone are
considered good
conductors since they can
speedily transfer heat,
whereas materials like
wood, paper, air, and
cloth are poor conductors
of heat

HEAT and TEMPERATURE

MATERIALS
Liquid can change into a gas
by evaporation. For example
if you leave a saucer of water
out in the sun, the water will
evaporate.
Evaporation can take place at
any temperature. But, in
boiling, the liquid needs to be
heated to reach its boiling
point.
Bubbles of water vapour then
form in the liquid and rise up.
At what
temperature will
the water boil?

The mercury inside these kinds of

Perhaps You have had your
temperature taken with
a thermometer .
A thermometer can be used to
find out how hot or cold
something is. A thermometer
is an instrument for measuring
temperature.
This is a thermometer used to
take your temperature when
you have a fever.
9. The boiling point of water also
depends on the purity of the water.
Water which contains impurities (such
as salt or sugar) boils at a higher
temperature than pure water.
This is why orange juice or apple juice
will boil at temperatures slightly
above 100°C
FLIP NOTESMATERIALS
Different thermometers from
different batches might also give
slightly different readings. This is
because they might have been
calibrated differently.
Ice melts at 0°C.
Water freezes at 0°C
10. Does boiling have a reverse process?
Boiling is when liquid water
changes to water vapour or steam.
The reverse process, when steam
turns back to water, is called
condensation.
In order to boil water, we need to add
energy to it.
But if we want to condense the water
vapour, we need to cool it down..
FLIP NOTESMATERIALS
11. Melting is when a solid changes
into a liquid. Look at this photo of a
candle burning.
What is happening to the wax around
the flame?
A liquid can change into a gas by
evaporation.
For example if you leave a saucer of
water out in the sun, the water will
evaporate.
FLIP NOTESMATERIALS
Evaporation can take place at
any temperature. But, in boiling,
the liquid needs to be heated to
reach its boiling point. Bubbles
of water vapour then form in the
liquid and rise up.
