Heat NCERT Science Class 7 Chapter 4 Summary Note

Heat
Energy that increases hotness of an object. 

Temperature
A reliable measure of the hotness of an object, is its temperature. 

Thermometer
A device used to measure temperature, is called thermometer. 

Types of thermometer
(i) Clinical thermometer
(ii) Laboratory thermometer
(iii) Maximum-minimum thermometer

Clinical thermometer
-The thermometer used to measure temperature of body, is called clinical thermometer. 
-It consists of- glass tube, 
                         Bulb 
                         Mercury thread 
                         Kink
-Range- 35°C to 42°C.
-It has kink. 
Clinical thermometer


Laboratory thermometer
-The thermometer used to measure temperature of an object, is called laboratory thermometer. 
-It consists of- glass tube, 
                         Bulb 
                         Mercury thread 
                         
-Range- -10°C to 110°C.
-It doesn't have kink. 

Maximum-minimum thermometer
The thermometer used to measure temperature of weather, is called maximum-minimum thermometer. 

Normal temperature of human body is 37°C.

Clinical thermometer has the range 35°C to 42°C. Reason-
-Temperature of human body doesn't goes below 35°C.
-Temperature of human body doesn't goes above 42°C.
-Temperature of human body lies within 35°C to 42°C.

Kink
A small bent on clinical thermometer. 
It prevents auto fall of mercury level. 

Conductor of heat. 
The materials which allow heat to pass through them, are conductors of heat. 
Examples- Iron,aluminum etc. 

Insulator of heat 
The materials which do not allow heat to pass through them, are insulators of heat.
Examples-Plastic, wood etc. 

Conductor and Insulator

Conduction 
The process of heat transfer from hotter end to colder end of an object, is called conduction. 
It takes place in solid conductors. 

Convection
The process of heat transfer in liquid and gas, is called convection. 
Convection Process


Radiation
The process of heat transfer in any media or vacuum. 

Sea breeze
Cold air flow from sea to land, is sea breeze. 
It flows during day. 
Hot wind flow from land to sea. 
Reason- Convection

Land breeze
Cold wind flow from land to sea, is land breeze. 
It flows during night. 
Hot wind flow from sea to land. 
Reason- Convection

The people living in coastal areas experience sea breeze and land breeze. 

In summer we prefer light coloured and cotton clothes. Reason-
-Light coloured clothes absorb very less sunlight. 
-Cotton is good absorber of water(sweat). Evaporation can takes place easily. It causes cooling effect. 

In winter we prefer dark coloured and woollen clothes. Reason
-Dark coloured clothes absorb more sunlight. 
-Wool is poor conductor of heat. It prevents flow of body heat. 

One thick blanket vs two thin joined blankets 
-Two thin joined blanket would cause more heat than one thick blanket. 
-Reason-
*In joined blankets, there would be a layer of air. 
*Air is poor conductor of heat. 
*It would prevent flow of inner heat.

Friction NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 12 Summary Note

Friction The force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact, is called friction.  Factors affecting friction Weight of object  Nature of surfaces in contact More the weight of object, more the friction.  More smooth surface experience less friction.  Importance of friction Friction helps in stopping object Friction helps to write, walk,  Friction helps in all activities Friction produces heat.  Harm cause by Friction Sole of shoes wear out.  Machine parts get wear out.  Friction can be increased by making surfaces rough. ( More rough means more interlocking between surfaces which means more friction )  Friction can be decreased by applying lubricant on surfaces.  Friction can be decresed by changing shape of object.  Rolling friction The force that oppose motion of rolling object, is rolling friction.  Sliding friction The force that oppose moti...

Stars and the Solar System NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 17 Summary Note

Stars and Solar System Celestial objects The stars, the planets, the moons and many other objects in the sky are called celestial objects.  Full Moon Day  The day on which the whole disc of the moon is visible is known as full moon day.  New Moon Day On the fifteenth day after full moon day, the moon is not visible. This day is known as new moon day.  Crescent Moon  The moon whose only a small portion appears in the sky, is called crescent moon.  Phases of Moon  The various shapes of the bright part of the moon as seen during a month are called phases of moon.  The moon doesn't produce its own light.  We see the moon because, the sunlight falling on it gets reflected towards us.  The moon rotates on its axis.  The moon revolve around the Earth.  The moon has no atmosphere, no water,  Star The sun is also a star.  Sun appears larger than other stars. Because- -Stars are millions of times farther away than the sun....
