Study Design
· convert between Celsius and kelvin scales
· describe how an increase in temperature corresponds to an increase in thermal energy (kinetic and potential energy of the atoms) of a system:
- distinguish between conduction, convection and radiation with reference to heat transfers within and between systems
- explain why cooling results from evaporation using a simple kinetic energy model
· investigate and analyse theoretically and practically the energy required to:
- raise the temperature of a substance: Q = mcΔT
- change the state of a substance: Q = mL
· apply concepts of energy transfer, energy transformation, temperature change and change of state to climate change and global warming.
