Presentations on Heat & Temperature : |
Temperature vs. Heat Grade: 3 - 9 The lesson explains that heat refers to quantity of hotness, and is determined by the mass and speed of molecules. It demonstrates that a bucket of water at a temperature of 50°C contains more heat than a cup of water at 100°C. 4:50 |
Temperature and Heat: A Discussion Grade: 3 - 9 A presentation on temperature and heat. 2:30 |
Measuring Temperature Grade: 3 - 9 Learn how Swedish scientist Anders Celsius invented the Celsius thermometer, using the expansion of mercury as a measure of temperature. 4:50 |
Different Temperature Scales Grade: 3 - 9 The lesson discusses the different temperature scales, and conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. 1:40 |
Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion Grade: 3 - 9 A chemistry tutorial on converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius. 1:20 |
Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion Grade: 3 - 9 A chemistry tutorial on converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit. 1:20 |
Heat as Energy Grade: 3 - 9 The lesson explains that whenever there is movement and friction between two objects, heat is produced. Since movement is a form of energy, it follows that heat must also be a form of energy. 4:50 |
Radiation Waves Grade: 3 - 9 The lesson explains that one of the main ways in which heat energy moves is in the form of waves. This kind of heat transfer is called radiation. 4:50 |
Radiation Spectrum Grade: 3 - 9 The lesson explains that the waves of heat energy radiated by the Sun come in many forms, which together make a band, or spectrum, of energy waves. 4:50 |
Video on Conduction Grade: 3 - 9 Introduces the concept of conduction, explaining that the application of heat to an object makes the molecules or atoms vibrate faster and causes a 'domino effect' that carries heat energy across the object. 4:50 |
Video on Convection Grade: 3 - 9 Introduces the concept of convection, explaining how the principle of buoyancy is responsible for the process of heat transfer called convection. 4:50 |
Heat Transfer Demo - Conduction, Convection and Radiation Grade: 3 - 9 The presentation demonstrates three experiments about heat conductivity. 6:15 |
Which is the Better Insulator? Grade: 3 - 9 Learn about insulators with an experiment. Cups full of water are placed into bowls of liquid nitrogen. Find out which cup insulates the best?
5:00 |
Melting Point of Metals Grade: 3 - 9 A presentation about melting point of various metals. 3:50 |
The Race for Absolute Zero Grade: 3 - 9 A physicist explains how matter changes as it is reduced in temperature and nears absolute zero (-459.67 F or -213.15 C). Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature, and at that temperature no heat energy remains in the matter. 3:15 |
