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 Target:
I am learning how thermal energy is transferred through matter or empty space and how to keep heat from flowing, and explain what happens to particle motion when energy is added or removed from matter.
Success Criteria:
I can define thermal energy (heat)
I can describe what happens to matter when energy is added or removed.
I can list the 3 state changes that involve adding energy
I can list the 3 state changes that involve removing energy
I can list the 3 forms of heat and define each with one word
I can describe how thermal energy moves through materials
I can define conductors and insulators
I can describe how thermal energy moves through liquid and gasses
I can describe how thermal energy moves through empty space
I can describe which states of matter can be affected by each method of heat.
