Unit 2: Forms and Transformations of Energy

STANDARD: S8P2   Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the law of conservation of energy to develop arguments that energy can transform from one form to another within a system. 

ELEMENT: S8P2.d   Plan and carry out investigations on the effects of heat transfer on molecular motion as it relates to the collision of atoms (conduction), through space (radiation), or in currents in a liquid or a gas (convection).

LEARNING TARGETS: 

1. I can define conduction, convection and radiation. (Knowledge)
2. I can identify and provide examples of conduction, convection, and radiation. (Knowledge)
3. I can describe how heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation. (Reasoning)
4. I can explain how heat moves from one place to another, including how cooler materials can become warmer and vice versa. (Reasoning)
5. I can plan and carry out investigations on the effects of heat transfer on molecular motion as it relates to the collision of atoms, through space, or in currents in liquids or a gas. (Skill)

Conduction, Convection, Radiation

 

Examples: Conduction, Convection, Radiation

 

Why does Heat Transfer from Hot to Cold?

 

Heat Travels from Warmer Object to Cooler Object

Molecular Movement - Conduction

 

Molecular Motion - Convection

 

Molecular Motion - Radiation
