This comprehensive guide explores the fundamental concepts of heat transfer, particle behavior, and thermal properties for KS3 Science students. It covers key topics like conduction, convection, radiation, and changes of state.
Key points:
• Explains temperature as a measure of particle kinetic energy
• Defines heat as energy transfer between objects at different temperatures
• Describes three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation
• Uses the particle model to explain thermal behavior of solids, liquids, and gases
• Provides experiments and examples to illustrate heat conduction in various materials
