Problem Statement: How much heat is required to raise the temperature of various substances by an equal amount?

Hypothesis: I think that each substance will have a big difference against each temperature change depending on the substance.

**__Andres__** **__Guerrero__** **__5th period science__** **__Mr.__** **__Hankins__** **__4 Page Research Paper__** **__Heat Factors__** In this project [How much heat is required to raise the temperature of various substances by an equal amount?] I will study the direct heat transfer, heat absorption, radiation, temperature and the specific heat. I need too study these heat factors because I will have to put a particular amount of heat on each substance and record its temperature. In this experiment I need to measure the **heat absorption** which is how much heat each substance contains or absorbs. The reason I have to study this factor is because when I put heat on the substance I need to see how much heat it can take in. Then I will have to measure its temperature to see if there is a difference in the temperature because of the amount of heat it absorbed. Also there is kinetic energy in heat absorption because when the heat is being absorbed the heat is moving by force of absorption. Radiation also takes place in heat absorption because when it is moving it radiates all of its heat around the substance causing it to be hot and absorbed. The next heat factor is the **specific heat**. Specific heat is the ratio of the required heat of the temperature in each body of a solid, liquid or gas [the three major types of matter]. In this experiment specific heat is found in the substance or on the substance. The specific heat is traveling in the heat transfer going to the substance. The next heat factor is **radiation**. Radiation occurs every time when I’m conducting this experiment. The reason why there is radiation in this whole experiment is because when I’m ding this experiment every thing is about heat. When I’m conducting this assignment I will have to see how much radiation or heat is traveling and how fast the radiation is moving because radiation depends on two things which are: speed or kinetic energy and how much heat the radiation contains when it is traveling into the substance. Another heat factor is **temperature**. This heat factor is a really simple factor to work with in this project because you only have to see the number it lands on in the thermometer. Also you have to calculate how hot it is inside the substance. You have to measure its Celsius and Fahrenheit to get its temperature in order to see if the temperature went up or down. One important thing about temperature is that it is measured in thermal energy or how hot the object is. The next important thing about heat is **direct heat transfer**. Heat transfer is heat when it makes contact to an object when it moves through radiation. It occurs when I’m putting heat into the substance causing it to make it hotter and raise its temperature. It usually makes everything hotter as soon as it makes contact than before it makes contact. Also in this experiment direct heat transfer is also one of the most important things because it tells you if the heat transfer made a difference on the substance, if it barely made a difference on the experiment or if the heat transfer completely failed and went off course. **Air molecules** also take place in radiation and heat transfer because when the air molecules get hot it makes all the molecules get a lot of kinetic energy causing it to make everything around it hot and that is why it is mostly radiation or heat transfer because of the molecules getting hot when they move like when you rub your hands together you make thermal energy and it is almost the same thing with the hands. All of this heat comes from either natural heat like the sun, fires or artificial heat which is made from electricity such as microwaves, light bulbs and other stuff. In heat absorption the heat comes from either both main sources of heat and it is taken away like a magnet. Specific heat is formed when the ratio of the required heat of the temperature in each body of a solid, liquid or gas [the three major types of matter]and makes contact to either but in this experiment the majority is the liquid and solid when I melt a solid and make it into a liquid. Radiation is formed when heat is moved and spreads out into other places like the sun providing radiation throughout the galaxy. Temperature is formed when there is a difference in thermal energy if it gets colder or hotter and it is measured in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Air molecules are formed wherever there is air. In this project the air molecules will turn hotter and hotter and it also forms radiation or direct heat transfer depending on how it is going to one place to another. Direct heat transfer is formed when most of the heat is bundled up together and going to one object as their primary source. Heat absorption can cause the substance that is absorbing the heat to become more of a target to thermal energy. Specific heat can cause various effects depending on the states of matter. If it is liquid the heat will change it to a gas. If it is a solid it will melt the solid and the solid will become a liquid. Radiation can cause everything around it hot and usually melt or turn it into a gas. Temperature can cause the substance to be hot or cold depending on the inside of the substance what is on the substance what is around the substance and sometimes what the weather is around the substance. Direct heat transfer can cause the substance to become hotter or hottest at its highest point depending on how the direct heat hits the substance if it is spread out or if it is straight and going to its primary source. Air molecules can cause anything that air become hot or cold depending on how the air around it is. In order to start the experiment you need to now how to read temperature and how to use it. In this project there is a lot of heat and the temperature and the thermometer will be useful because in this experiment I will measure heat throughout the entire experiment. The second thing is I have to know how to control the heat. To control the heat means to know how much heat to put on each substance and to see if all the factors will “work together” to make a good combination. The third thing I need to learn about is how to calculate all the data and how to put it in your data. In order to do that you will need a data chart. You also have to make a conclusion on all the important things that you researched on.
