2. Do now…Conversion Practice
The temperature of the science lab is 70 F. What is this temperature in Celsius?
The temperature outside is 25 C. What is this temperature in Fahrenheit?

3. Thermal Energy (from yesterday)
Potential Energy
1) Molecules in a material exert attractive forces on each other
Ex: Gravity exerts an attractive force on a ball.
2) Molecules in a material have potential energy
Ex: A ball above the ground has potential energy.
3) As molecules move closer together or farther apart, potential energy changes
Ex: As a ball moves closer to or farther from Earth’s surface, its potential energy changes.

4. Explain the difference between thermal energy and heat
Objectives
Students will…
Explain the difference between thermal energy and heat
Describe 3 ways thermal energy is transferred

5. Heat and Thermal Energy
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another when objects are at different temperatures.
The amount of thermal energy that is transferred when 2 objects are brought into contact depends on the difference in temperature between objects.
60 degrees
20 degrees
100 degrees
60 degrees

6. Conduction, Radiation and Convection
Transfer of thermal energy by direct contact by collisions between particles
Conduction
Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
Radiation
Transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles in a gas or liquid
Convection

7. Classifying types of energy Transfer
Complete each sentence using radiation, convection or conduction
1) The sun’s rays heat sand particles by ____________.
2) Cool air pushes in to replace warm, air flow by natural _____.
3) Body heat is transferred in to the air by _______.
4) Heat from the sun warms iced tea by __________.
5) A fan pushes air molecules by forced__________.

11. Watch Now…
Review to heat vs. temperature

12. Identify materials as insulators or conductors
Objectives
Students will…
Identify materials as insulators or conductors
Complete mini-lab to observe convection

13. Thermal Conductors vs. Thermal Insulators
- Conducts heat easily
-gold and copper
Material contains loosely held electrons
Thermal Insulators
- Does not conduct heat easily
-materials do not contain loosely held electrons
Depend on how strongly atoms hold electrons

14. Heat Absorption
Specific Heat- is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance by 1 degree C.
More thermal energy is needed to change the temperature of a material with a high specific heat than one with a low specific heat.
Ex: sand on a beach has lower specific heat than ocean water

15. Thermal pollution
Thermal pollution- increase in the temperature of a body of water caused by adding warmer water.
Effects: organisms need more oxygen and warmer water has less dissolved oxygen=organisms die due to low oxygen. Also organisms are more sensitive to chemical pollutants, parasites and disease.
Reducing: Cooling warm water produced by factories, power plants and run off.
