SLANT: Finish Notes on Temperature and Heat

6. Heat - movement of thermal energy (TE) from a warmer object to a cooler

• “heating” an object means adding TE to it.

• “Cooling” means removing TE from it.

• When the temperature of 2 objects is equal - no heat can flow between them.

Homework:

1. Temperature Worksheet finished (both sides) for tomorrow

2. G&L Final Test - Wednesday, Dec. 1st

3. G&L Flashcards collection and grading - Thursday, Dec. 2nd

Today’s Lesson:

1. Temperature - the average KE of the particles that make up a material

   • atoms or molecules

   2. adding (or losing) thermal energy increases (or reduces) KE of particles

   • as average KE increases - so does temperature.

   • as average KE lowers - so does temperature

   3. Two material may be the same temperature but contain different amounts of thermal energy.

   • ex. A pond and a puddle at the same temp

     • pond would have more thermal energy because its larger

   • in general solids and liquids have more TE than gases at same temp

     • particles are closer together so have more PE

4. Temperature is measured in degrees using a thermometer.

• Degree Fahrenheit and Celsius are most common

• Degrees Kelvin only used in science

5. Conversions

6. Heat - movement of thermal energy (TE) from a warmer object to a cooler

• “heating” an object means adding TE to it.

• “Cooling” means removing TE from it.

Review of MobyMax Notes

Class Notes - Thermal Energy, Temperature and Heat

• SLANT

1. Energy - causes change to matter

   • KE - energy due to motion

   • PE - Stored energy due to position of two objects that interact

2. Substances have energy contained in their particles (atoms)

• The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that all particles in all states of matter are in constant motion.

• Atoms have different arrangements and motion based on:

  • Temperature

  • State of matter

Now add to your notes with some independent research:

• Use the following website PHET States of Matter Basics

• Research and draw diagrams of particles in the three states of matter.

  • Draw all three states separately.

  • Do this in your notebook.

  • add notes or labels to describe the

    • Particle arrangement.

    • Particle motion.

• I suggest you the following phrases to label your drawings. (Some phrases mabe used more than once.)

  • particles vibrate in place

  • particles move around freely

  • particles keep a regular shape and arrangement

  • particles slide over and around one another

  • particles spread out near the bottom of their container

  • particle vibrate while they move about

  • particles fill the entire container
