Table of Contents
If you are ABSENT, look at the ToC to see if pages have been added. Also, look at the daily PowerPoint lesson below to help you. You are responsible for keeping your notebook up to date. Left-hand pages are ones that are student-thinking and this must be your own work. Right-hand pages are group or teacher-directed and can be photocopied using the class photocopier.
Task
You are a team of architects and need to design a home to maximize thermal efficiency.
Big Aha!
How can your home minimize energy loss?
Focus Questions
- How can what I CANNOT see help me explain what I CAN see?
- What is temperature?
- How do heat and energy relate?
- How does mass relate to temperature?
- How can we control heat transfer to match our needs?
- How do scientists and engineers use their knowledge of energy transfer to address real world problems?
Enduring Understandings
- Heat is felt from the transfer of energy and cold is felt as an object loses thermal energy.
- Coldness is simply the lack or absence of heat. (Cold is not a thing and cannot move.)
- Heat is a transfer of energy from a hotter object/region to a colder object/region.
- Larger objects have more thermal energy because they are made of more matter.
- Temperature is an approximate measurement of the kinetic energy of the average sample of particles that make up a substance.
- The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a sample depends on the nature of the matter, the size of the sample, and the environment.
- Energy is transformed (changed) from one type to another type of energy, but energy is neither gained nor lost (Law of Conservation of Energy).
Vocabulary
Here is a link to Quizlet vocabulary cards for this unit. It doesn't have all the vocabulary, but it does have most of the key new vocabulary.
