Study Guide Heat and Temperature


Topic 1 Using Energy for Heat


Topic 2 Measuring Temperature

· Thermometers

- Thermostat

- Bimetallic strips

- The Thermocouple

- The Recording Thermometer

- The Infrared Thermometer

· Temperature Scales

- Celsius

- Farenheit

- Kelvin


Topic 3 The Particle Model, Temperature, and Thermal Energy

· Temperature - average kinetic energy

- Increase in temp. = more kinetic energy

- Decrease in temp. = less kinetic energy

· Law of Conservation of Energy

· Particle Model of Matter


Topic 4 Expansion and Contraction

· Contract - decrease in volume

· Expand(sion) - increase in volume

· How it affects gases, liquids, and solids


Topic 5 The Particle Model and Changes of State

· Heat Capacity vs. Specific Heat Capacity

· Changes of state (Figure 3.18)

- Both Scientific and Non-scientific names for change (ex. melting is non-scientific, fusion is scientific)

· Melting and boiling point (what does it mean - change of state)


Topic 6 Transferring Energy

· 3 types of energy transfer

- Radiation (Electromagnetic Radiation - EMR)

- Conduction

- Convection (convection current)

· Insulation vs. conductivity (Think about the Stainless Steel Bottle/Ceramic Mug Lab)

· Energy Transfer System

- Control System


Topic 7 Sources of Thermal Energy

· Chemical Energy (non-renewable)

· Electrical Energy (both non-renewable and renewable)

- Mechanical forces

· Geothermal Energy (renewable)

· Solar Energy (renewable)

· Wind Energy (renewable)

· Fossil Fuel (non-renewable)

· Global warming (greenhouse effect)

· Cogeneration


Topic 8 Conserving Our Fossil Fuels

· What can you do to not burn fossil fuels?

· What can you do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
