HEAT

A. Introduction

1. Heat is a form of energy.

2. Heat cannot be seen but can be felt.

B. Sources of Heat

1. The Sun is our main source of heat.

2. All living things on Earth need heat to survive.

3. Our Sources of heat are from:

(a) The Earth
(b) Electricity
(c) Chemical reactions
(d) Fiction
(e) Nuclear energy

4. When a volcano erupts, some of the heat beneath the ground escapes to the Earth's surface.

5. A geyser is a spring that spurts up hot water with a great force from time to time.

6. Heat energy that comes from the ground is known as geothermal energy.

7. Man uses geothermal energy to produce electricity.

8. Chemical reactions like oxidation, combustion and decomposition produce heat.

9. Decomposition happens when a substanec breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

10. Combustion happens when a fuel reacts with the oxygen in the air giving off heat and light.

11. Fiction is produced when one object or surface rubs against another.

12. Electricity can be passed through certain metals and other materials to produce heat.

Fight Climate Change Part 4

Switch off the air conditioner, turn on the fan! You can save about $50 in just one month*. An air conditioner takes up the bulk of your energy bill. A fan only uses less than 1/10th of the electricity used by an air conditioner.

Fight Climate Change (Part 3)

How you can fight climate change!

Use electricity wisely and you can reduce Co2 emissions drastically! Besides, with today's energy effiicient technologies, conserving energy is a breeze.

Better yet, you will pay less on your electricity bills! On the following pages are some tips that can help you reduce at least 10% of your household's electicity consumption.

Fight Climate Change (Part 2)

Why is our climate changing?

All of us are responsible for this! Every time we switch on an electrical appliance, we contribute to climate change. That is because in Singapore, electricity is generated mainly by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide of CO2. Excess CO2 in the air traps more heat from the sun, causing climate change.

The more electricity we use, the more CO2 is released into the atmosphere.

Fight Climate Change (Part 1)

Use less, Getting more.

Conserving energy does not mean changing your lifestyle drastically. You do not need to read under moonlight or take cold showers just to save electricity. Instead, energy conservation today is all about energy efficiency: doing the same things with just a fraction of the energy. It is about doing more with less. Find out how you can conserve energy in the next few post and why it pays to be energy efficient.

How Climate Change Affects Us.

Climate change is not only a problem for polar bears. Every Singaporean should be concerned. Here is what we might face:

Rise in sea level.
Hotter days and nights.
Higher food prices due to climate change in countries we import food from.
Change of weather patterns, such as more frequent heavy rainfall.
Resurgence and spread of infectious diseases.
