Description

Made For Distance Learning:

This lab is 1 of a set of 20 physics and chemistry labs, which was made to pair with freePhET online simulations, which allow hands on engagement in a distance learning setting.

Chromebook, tablet, and smartphone accessible. Simply upload to google classroom. Make a student copy and let students fill in. Answer Key Included (So copy paste in a safe space :)

-------

Lab Objective:

Students will analyze cold v hot as the amount of thermal energy in an object.

Students will compare rates of temperature increase and amounts of thermal energy in different materials of same temperatures based on specific heat.

This curriculum is :

5 Es Structured
print ready/ No notebook needed
Inquiry driven
Student centered, self paced
Google Chromebook accessible
No set-up of materials required

NGSSHS-PS3-4

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics). Emphasis is on analyzing data from student investigations and using mathematical thinking to describe the energy changes both quantitatively and conceptually. Examples of investigations could include mixing liquids at different initial temperatures or adding objects at different temperatures to water. Assessment is limited to investigations based on materials and tools provided to students.
