The faster the heat travels through the rod the quicker the
pins will drop.

What happens when copper and glass are heated?
Glass will conduct heat but it is a non-metal.
Non-metals are poor conductors (insulators).

Particle model for conduction
As the solid gets hotter the particles vibrate faster.
These extra vibrations are passed along the rod. This is
how the heat spreads and we call this CONDUCTION

Cold
NON-METAL
Stopwatch Graph Home
Particle model for the best conductors
Positive ions pass the energy on by collision
Metals also have free electrons
METAL
The free electrons move through
the metal and help conduction.
The electrons pass on energy
by colliding with the ions (and
other electrons)


Insulation will slow down heat flow
Keep cold things cold and hot things hot
Some materials make good insulators (e.g. ceramics)
Most insulators are improved by:
 trapping pockets of air
 pockets are too small for convection currents
 air is a bad conductor

How does a vacuum flask work?
How is a vacuum flask able to keep hot drinks hot and cold
drinks cold?
2. The plastic (or cork) lid is an
insulator and the screw top
prevents convection currents
escaping from the flask.
1. There is a vacuum between two
layers of glass or steel, which
prevents heat leaving or
entering by conduction.
3. The walls have silvery surfaces,
which prevent heat leaving or
entering by radiation.

Losing Energy
We lose energy from the roof, the door,
the walls and the windows.
In order to reduce
electricity bills and
pollution, we need to
keep energy losses
from our homes to a
minimum.

Curtains
Curtains reduce draughts [convection currents]
leaving the house. They are opaque and so don’t
allow much radiated heat to pass through them.

Double Glazing
A great deal of energy is lost
through windows.
By adding an extra pane, the
trapped air in between acts as an
insulator to reduce heat loss by
conduction.
The insulating effect of the gap
can be improved further by
sucking all the air out to create a
vacuum.
Double glazing is expensive and
difficult to smash without a
special hammer.
Stopwatch Graph Home
Cavity Wall Insulation
Most outside walls have an empty
space between the 2 layers of
bricks called a cavity.
This reduces heat loss by
conduction through the bricks.
Cavity wall foam insulation is
pumped in between the bricks to
prevent convection within the
cavity.
Stopwatch Graph Home
Loft Insulation
The air heated by central
heating is less dense than the
cooler air around it and rises.
The ceilings get heated and
eventually the heat escapes
through the roof.
Loft insulation contains trapped
air which forms an insulating
layer between the rooms and
the attic.
Stopwatch Graph Home
Radiators
Radiators heat the wall a great
deal - this wastes heat energy.
Placing shiny silver coated card
between the wall and the
radiator reduces heat loss by
radiation by reflecting it back
into the room.
Stopwatch Graph Home
Draught Excluders
Draughts are convection
currents.
A great deal of heat energy is
lost in this way but it is the
easiest type to prevent.
Draught excluders are hairy or
spongy strips which close gaps
and prevent the convection
currents escaping.
