Day 1: Introduction to Heat

Topic: Heat and Temperature
 विषय: ऊष्मा और तापमान

Learning Outcomes

  • Define heat and temperature.
  • Understand the difference between hot and cold.

Teaching-Learning Activities

Teacher asks:

  • Why do we feel hot in summer?
  • Why do we use fans?

शिक्षक प्रश्न पूछें:

  • गर्मियों में हमें गर्मी क्यों लगती है?
  • हम पंखे का उपयोग क्यों करते हैं?

Explain:

Heat:

  • A form of energy that makes things hot.

ऊष्मा:

  • ऊर्जा का एक रूप जो वस्तुओं को गर्म बनाती है।

Temperature:

  • Degree of hotness or coldness.

तापमान:

  • किसी वस्तु की गर्मी या ठंडक का माप।

Activity Touch three bowls containing hot, cold and normal water and compare feelings.

Assessment Oral Questions:

  • What is heat?
  • Temperature क्या है?

Homework Write two examples of hot objects and cold objects.

दो गर्म और दो ठंडी वस्तुओं के नाम लिखिए।

 

Day 2: Measuring Temperature

Topic: Thermometer and its uses
 विषय: थर्मामीटर और उसका उपयोग

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify types of thermometers.
  • Learn how temperature is measured.

Teaching-Learning Activities

Explain:

Types of thermometers:

  • Clinical thermometer — क्लिनिकल थर्मामीटर
  • Laboratory thermometer — प्रयोगशाला थर्मामीटर

Discuss:

  • Unit of temperature: Degree Celsius (°C)

Activity Show a thermometer and identify its parts.

Safety rules

  • Handle carefully.
  • Do not shake laboratory thermometer.

सुरक्षा नियम:

  • सावधानी से पकड़ें।
  • प्रयोगशाला थर्मामीटर को झटका न दें।

Assessment Fill in the blanks:

  1. Temperature is measured using ______.
  2. Temperature unit is ______.

Homework Observe if anyone at home uses a thermometer and write its use.

घर में थर्मामीटर के उपयोग का एक उदाहरण लिखिए।

 

Day 3: Transfer of Heat – Conduction

Topic: Conduction of heat
 विषय: ऊष्मा का चालन

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand conduction.

Teaching-Learning Activities

Explain:

Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact.

चालन: सीधे संपर्क द्वारा ऊष्मा का संचरण।

Examples:

  • Metal spoon becomes hot in tea.
  • Iron pan becomes hot while cooking.

Activity Observe different objects (metal, plastic, wood) and identify conductors and insulators.

Assessment Choose the correct answer:

Wood is a: a) Conductor
 b) Insulator

Homework List three objects made of conductors and insulators.

 

Day 4: Transfer of Heat – Convection and Radiation

Topic: Convection and Radiation
 विषय: संवहन और विकिरण

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain convection and radiation with examples.

Teaching-Learning Activities

Convection: Heat transfer through movement of liquids and gases.

संवहन: द्रव और गैसों की गति द्वारा ऊष्मा का संचरण।

Examples:

  • Sea breeze
  • Water boiling

Radiation: Heat transfer without a medium.

विकिरण: बिना माध्यम के ऊष्मा का संचरण।

Examples:

  • Heat from the Sun
  • Heat from fire

Activity Observe why we wear light-colored clothes in summer.

Assessment Ask:

  • How does heat reach Earth from the Sun?

Homework Write one example each of conduction, convection and radiation.

 

Day 5: Revision and Assessment

Topic: Recap of Heat
 विषय: पुनरावृत्ति

Learning Outcomes

  • Recall and apply concepts learned.

Activities

  1. Flash card quiz
  2. Concept map
  3. Group discussion

 

Worksheet

Match the following:

Clinical thermometer → Measures body temperature
