EF-D1.1

EF-D1.1 Distinguish between heat and temperature
State that the temperature of an object tells us how hot the object is.
State that temperature is measured in degrees celsius (°C).
Explain the increase/decrease in temperature of an object in terms of heat gain/loss.
Carry out an experiment to collect data for a cooling curve.
Construct a cooling curve from data given or obtained experimentally.
Explain the shape of a cooling curve in terms of rate of heat loss, temperature and temperature of surroundings.

 

1 Simple energy converters converting various forms of energy into heat e.g. electrical to heat, chemical to heat etc. using lamp, low voltage IR source, bunsen burner.
2 Use a thermometer to record temperature / time for hot water cooling in a beaker.
3 Use of temperature sensor and interface to record temperature variations over a long period of time.
