Heat and Temperature
Focusing Questions:
What heat-related technologies do we use to meet human needs?
Upon what scientific principles are these technologies based?
What implications do these technologies have for sustainable use of resources?
Key Concepts
− heat energy needs and technologies − thermal energy
− particle model of matter − temperature
− thermal expansion and Contraction − change of state
− heat transfer − insulation and thermal conductivity
− thermal energy sources − energy conservation
Topic 1: Human Energy Resource Management
Topic 2: Effects of Thermal Energy on Matter
Topic 3: Heat in Nature and Technology
Topic 4: Thermal Technology and Sustainability
