Tuesday, April 6

  • 5th
  • Chapter 10 test
  • 6th/7th
  • Chapter 10 test
  • Calculating heat & specific heat
  • Q=mCD T
  • How much energy is needed to heat 200 g of brass from 20°C to 90°C?
  • How about for water and air?

    Wednesday, April 7 – Short periods due to PSSA Testing

    • 5th/6th
    • Calculating heat & specific heat
    • Q=mCD T
    • How much energy is needed to heat 200 g of brass from 20°C to 90°C?
    • How about for water and air?
    • Intro. to Heat mixing Lab
  • 7th
  • Heat Mixing Lab

    Thurdsay, April 8 – Short periods due to PSSA Testing

    • 5th/6th
    • Heat mixing Lab
    • 7th
    • Finish Heat Mixing Lab
    • Converting energy from thermal to PE, KE, etc and in reverse

    Friday, April 9 – Short periods due to PSSA Testing

    • 5th
    • Converting energy from thermal to PE, KE, etc and in reverse
  • 7th
  • Energy transfer - moving energy from place to place (use water on hot plate as example)
  • conduction - physical contact between materials (touching material)
    • Physical contact necessary; best for solids and liquids (heat transfer for objects in contact) Different substances conduct heat better than others - metals better than nonmetals and it varies by substance - show color changing rod heat conduction demo. Air is a great insulator.
  • convection - movement of fluid to move energy
    • Wind, HVAC, etc..
  • radiation - no matter needed between source an adsorbing material
    • light from the sun gives us energy (infrared radiation)
    • Demonstrate heat cans (heating and cooling) and radiation cube
