21. Lesson Concepts Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable.

22. Lesson Concepts Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable. Heat can be transmitted via conduction, convection, and radiation.

23. Lesson Concepts Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable. Heat can be transmitted via conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat interacting with material causes it to change temperature, size, or physical state (phase).

24. Lesson Concepts When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of errors and improve the basic design to reduce these errors.

25. Lesson Concepts When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of errors and improve the basic design to reduce these errors. In designing devices to be used in practical applications, it is important to take into consideration the cost-effectiveness of the device: the efficiency of the device in solving the problem compared with its total cost.

26. Lesson Concepts When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of errors and improve the basic design to reduce these errors. In designing devices to be used in practical applications, it is important to take into consideration the cost-effectiveness of the device: the efficiency of the device in solving the problem compared with its total cost. Problems involving heat flow and temperature changes can be solved using known values of specific heat and latent heat of phase change.

27. A. There is at least one I teach. B. There are two I teach. C. There are three or more standards listed that I teach. D. I do not teach any of these standards. Do you teach any of these standards?

51. Pass out Worksheet 2 and review procedure for experiment. Students design their sunshades. Students follow instructions 1-11, collecting data on page 3. Students work on pages 5-7 while waiting for ice in control can to melt (~30 minutes).

52. Where would your students perform the investigation? A.In my classroom or lab with lamps. B.Outdoors C.I don’t have the resources to implement this lesson.

54. Depending on the level of your class… Basic Homework: Compare ice melted in each can. How much ice was protected by your sunshade? What percent of ice was protected by the shade / cost of the shade? Complete p 5, questions 1-5.

55. Depending on the level of your class… Advanced Homework: Complete calculations on page 4 using data from the experiment. SHOW ALL YOUR WORK! In the next class you will compare your answers with your group and among groups. Complete p 5, questions 1-5

56. Students calculate: angle of sun (trig) surface area (geom) latent heat (calc) energy/time energy/time/surface area What do you mean by “advanced”? And must confidently: convert SI units use Joules avoid careless errors units, units, UNITS
