3/31/15 and 4/1/15 Thermal Energy 2

Date: 4/2/14 and 4/3/14
Class: Physical Science

Periods: W1,2,4 and B2

Outcomes: Students will describe how heat can be made useful.

Standards: 9-12.P.3.1

Student Needs: 

Assessment Plan: Students will write down how a refrigerator works.

Lesson Outline: What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? How can you tell how many outershell electrons an element has? If I give you mass and acceleration, what can you find? > Drinking Bird video > What are the 3 ways heat is transferred? Heat always flows from where to where? > Notes over sections 2 and 3 > Individual Project: write down research on how a refrigerator works, the parts involved and draw a diagram of it > HW: Thermal Energy Worksheet
Review: What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? How can you tell how many outershell electrons an element has? If I give you mass and acceleration, what can you find?

Anticipatory Set/Opening: SixtySymbols Drinking Bird Video. What are the 3 ways heat is transferred? Heat always flows from where to where?

Key Points: The amount of heat gained by a system is equal to the work done on it, heat ALWAYS moves from things with more thermal energy to things with less thermal energy.

Teaching Input: asking questions, giving directions, lecture

Modeling: Diagrams on board

Checking for Understanding: have students repeat directions, have students explain how refrigerators work

Guided Practice/Monitoring: Refrigerator research

Closure: Discussion over whether refrigerators violate the laws of thermodynamics

Independent Practice: Thermal Energy Worksheet

Reflection:
