4th Six Weeks (Week 1) Thermal Energy & Heat

Welcome back hope you all had an amazing holiday break, but now its time to get refocused and continue your academic development. 

Heat and Temperature Video 

Thermal Energy and Heat:

·         How is temperature related to kinetic energy? o   Explain and discuss the kinetic theory of matter. o   Compare the speeds of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. ·         Review Kinetic theory of matter o   Think fast Questions §  Which of the following has particles with a higher average kinetic energy? ·         Present examples: Steam or ice water, etc.. §  Which of the following has particles with a lower average kinetic energy? ·         Present examples: Snow or water, etc..

·         Define temperature, degree, and thermometer. o   Students must create a word triangle for each of the vocabulary terms in their Science Journal. ·         Relate temperature to kinetic energy of particles. o   High Temp. = higher kinetic energy o   Low Temp. = lower kinetic energy §  Due to particle movement ·         Measure temperature using different scales. o   Fahrenheit o   Celsius o   Kelvin ·

·         Thermal Energy & Heat  ·         What is the relationship between heat and temperature? o   Define: Thermal Energy & Heat §  Discuss and differentiate between thermal energy, temperature, & heat.
