Science Standard IV, Physics
Lesson 440, Heat
Defining temperature, thermal equilibrium, heat
Distinguishing between temperature and heat
Defining calorie, specific heat, absolute zero
Identifying the effects of an increase and a decrease in temperature on a substance
Describing conduction, convection, and radiation and how each spreads heat
Understanding Thermodynamics and the three laws which govern it
Knowing heat energy consists of ordered and disordered motions of colliding particles
Understanding that temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of motion of the molecules of an object
Understanding that the total amount of usable energy always decreases, even though the total amount of energy is conserved in any transfer
