- In what ways could you determine how heat is transferred?
- How could you describe the evolution of the different temperature scales and their differences in measuring common temperatures?
Student Objectives
Students will be able to
- Understand that heat differs from temperature.
- Investigate and understand heat is transferred from warmer substances to cooler substances.
- Understand the importance of using inquiry to develop theories about heat.

Explain:
- Teacher will review the importance of the creation of the different temperature scales by early scientist.
Elaborate:
- Teacher will use guided notes (attached) and students will write Cornell Notes to discuss different temperature scales.
Evaluate:
- Students will be assessed on their laboratory data and recordings.
- Students will be assessed on the objectives concerning temperature and temperature scales using their Cornell Notes.
- Students will be assessed on the review of 3 different temperature scales and various point temperatures.
Note: *Depending on the longevity of the notes and laboratory activities the lesson above may
require two additional 90 minute blocks.

Heat, Temperature, and Temperature Scales
Heat is the average kinetic energy of particles within a substance.
Temperature is a measure of the degree of heat. Temperature can be
measured using different scales. The scales were created by early
scientists and are named for them. Common temperatures for each scale
are listed in the table below:
Temperature Scales
Temperatures Fahrenheit Celsius Absolute Zero
Boiling Point 212 ̊ F 100 ̊ C 373K
Freezing Point 32 ̊ F 0 ̊ C 273K
Absolute Zero - 460 ̊ F - 273 ̊ C 0K
Average Room
Temperature
Between
20-25 ̊ C
Body
Temperature
37 ̊ C
* Note that Kelvin temperatures are not represented with a ( ̊) degree symbol and
they do not contain negatives.
To figure out the temperatures that belong in the empty boxes of the table above,
perform the temperature scale conversions below:
From Celsius to Fahrenheit: 9/5x ̊ C+32̊ = ̊ F
From Fahrenheit to Celsius: 5/9( ̊ F-32̊ ) =̊C
From Celsius to Kelvin:̊ C+273=K
4. Once you’ve finished dragging the pictures to the correct boxes,
draw a picture for one example on the table on #2 on your worksheet.

5. Now go back to the website above and click on the link marked
“Solar Cells” , under the “green” box heading Visualizations..
6. Play the movie.
7. Which heat transfer method is used
to capture the sun’s energy?
8. Take a look at the link below to look at
these “bite – sized” conduction,
convection, and radiation animations.

9. Answer the questions below:
In what three ways can heat be transferred?
True or False: Heat is always transferred from a warm object to a
cooler one.
Give your own example of the following:
Conduction-
Convection-
Radiation-

Evaluation: You will share your answers with a partner before turning
them in to me. Decide if you or your partner needs to look back at the
websites to correct any answers.
Conclusion: Please share with others the form of heat you found to be
the most interesting to learn about.
