Science Teacher
Pioneer Jr-Sr High
Study Guidelines
(* indicates important objectives)
* 16.1.1 Explain
how heat and work transfer energy.
* 16.1.2 Relate
thermal energy to the motion of particles that make up a
material.
* 16.1.3 Relate
temperature to thermal energy and to thermal expansion.
* 16.1.4 Calculate
thermal energy, temperature change, or mass using the specific
heat equation.
16.1.5 Describe
how a calorimeter operates and calculate thermal
energy changes or specific heat using calorimetry
measurements.
* 16.2.1 Describe
conduction, convection, and radiation and identify
which of these is occurring in a given situation.
* 16.2.2 Classify
materials as thermal conductors or thermal insulators.
* 16.2.3 Apply
the law of conservation of energy to conversions between
thermal energy and other forms of energy.
16.2.4 Apply
the second law of thermodynamics in situations where
thermal energy moves from cooler to warmer objects.
16.2.5 State
the third law of thermodynamics.
16.3.1 Describe
heat engines and explain how heat engines convert
thermal energy into mechanical energy.
* 16.3.2 Describe
how different types of heating systems operate.
* 16.3.3 Describe
how cooling systems, such as refrigerators and air conditioners,
operate.
16.3.4 Evaluate
the benefits and drawbacks of different heating and
cooling systems.
State Standards
and Benchmarks addressed by this unit:
| CP.1.16 |
Explain
that heat energy in a material consists of the
disordered motions of its atoms or molecules. |
| CP.1.17 |
Know and explain
that transformations of energy usually transform
some energy into the form of heat, which dissipates
by radiation or conduction into cooler surroundings. |
