Physical Science Unit 4 Day 4

Learning Objective: Students will learn about thermodynamics by doing a simulation and will analyze and interpret their data in writing using technical vocabulary conduction, convection, radiation, heat transfer, latent heat.


Questions:

1. What is thermal energy? (book)
2. What is latent heat and how is it connected to thermal energy? (book)
3. Which of the following are correct descriptions of heat flow?

Write the ones that apply in your notes.

A. Conduction is heat flowing between two objects that are touching each other. B. Convection is heat flowing when a liquid or gas carries the heat. C. Radiation is heat flowing between two objects that are touching each other. D. Convection is heat flowing in waves. Exit Ticket for Day 4:  If you had to describe thermal energy and heat transfer to a classmate, what would you tell them? What technical vocabulary would be most important for them to know? (explain why this would be important
