Curated OER
Heat Unit
Pupils define thermal equilibrium. They distinguish between internal energy and heat. Students describe how the quantity of heat that enters or leaves a substance is measured.
Curated OER
Thermodynamics Worksheet
In this science activity, learners are using the laws of thermodynamics and a basic knowledge to fill in the sentences with the correct words.
Curated OER
The Thermodynamics of Pizza
Students investigate the laws of thermodynamics. They observe demonstrations of each law, read a summary, and analyze how pizza demonstrates the laws of thermodynamics.
Curated OER
An Introduction To Material Sciences
Young scholars investigate the concept of molecular structure. They describe the behavior of simulated molecules and identify any dislocations in crystalline structures. They also define various related vocabulary words and use them in...
Curated OER
Units in Thermochemical Calculations
High schoolers study how to complete thermochemical equations. In this equation lesson students learn how to manipulate equations to calculate energy changes and reactions.
