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?
