Heat and Temperature — Advanced

Science · Grade 8 · Week 35 · 25 questions

Heat is a form of energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler ones. Understanding heat transfer explains why we wear jackets, how cooking works, and how engines run.

What you'll practise

  • Find the mean of data sets
  • Distinguish between heat and temperature
  • Explain conduction, convection, and radiation
  • Describe thermal expansion and its effects
