Order/Type Title/Area Special Notes

0-D Warm Ice Boils Water This Demo will be the basis for one of the quiz questions

1-L Reaction rate due to energy Heat as a form of energy

2-L Temperature retention Transfer of heat thru a medium (conduction

started, some convection and a bit of radiation)

3-L Ice Melt Heat transfer by conduction

4-L Sleeve study Design and run a test to validate a claim

5-L Design a Calorimeter Use knowledge of heat conduction to design and construct an efficient insulating test vessel.

6-L Mixing liquids Test your calorimeter and establish that

heat is a quantifiable entity.

7-L Tindal test Study the coefficient of thermal conductivity

8-L Determination of Absolute Zero Guess what happens here?

7-L Specific heat of Liquids and Solids Look at the actual heat capacity of

various substances, and determine the values for several non-water materials.

7.5-L Burn (bomb) calorimetry Study the heat content of foods and

other substances, the dietary calorie.

1-L Ice and cold Establish that changes of state really do

consume (use) energy

9-L Heat of State The heat of phase changes

Heat of Crystallization

10-L Heat of reaction (dissolution) Exothermic and Endothermic reactions

10.3-L Heat by radiation Transfer of heat without a medium, heat

induced transfer - Temperature related

10.6-L Convection Currents Transfer of heat by motion of the medium

Buoyancy and Density - Charles law

11-L Coefficient of Expansion 1,2&3 dimensional thermal expansion

12-L Mechanical Equivalent of Heat Converting energy from one form into another
