Mar. 6
Begin Thermal Physics!
Intro demos: Bird, Ice melting, bi-metallic strip
Thursday, Mar. 7
Notes​ and discussion: temperature, internal energy, thermometers
Friday, Mar. 8
Notes: Methods of thermal energy transfer

HW:  Thermal Energy Poster
Create a poster that creatively illustrates a scene in which conduction, convection, and radiation are occurring.
up to 5 points awarded per method of thermal energy transfer, based on accuracy and clarity of your identified and described part of your scene.
up to 5 points awarded (a bit subjectively) on the creativity, neatness, etc. that contributes to the appearance overall of your poster.
Please put your name(s) on the front in case they get scored after being displayed in the hallway.
Requirements:
  • at least 1 example for each method of thermal energy transfer should be identified
  • label each example; write a caption for each that explains (in 1-2 sentences) why that part of your scene is an appropriate example of the identified method of energy transfer
  • Be neat (we should be able to recognize what you're illustrating...)
  • Be creative (try to have a scene that others won't have thought of)
poster due Monday, ideally, but because we had limited work time today, I'll be happy to accept it Tuesday :)

Lab prep/practice: Effect of Volume on the Pressure of a Gas
Work on the pre-lab questions (lab sheet at the lab benches). Make sure you know how the equipment works. If you have time, you can get your data today--but only if you have time for ALL data collection.

Lab 2: Pivot Interactives Lab--Complete the online lab titled "Relationship Between Temperature of a Gas and Its Pressure" (or something like that...it's available in your assignment list in Pivot. :) )
Thursday, Mar. 28
Labs, day 2:  Collect Data for the Volume and Pressure relationship using the equipment and procedure you perfected yesterday
Continue working on the online lab.

Volume's Effect on Pressure:  Lab Analysis (a guided formal lab write-up) is to be typed and will be only submitted online to www.turnitin.com You will not need to submit a printed-out copy. Just submit the electronic copy.  Due Friday, April 5
Temperature's Effect on Pressure:  Lab Analysis is done solely within the Pivot Interactives platform. Answer each question fully and submit/save your answers Due Friday, April 5​
Friday, Mar. 29
Post-lab discussion: what you SHOULD have seen in your labs
If time, there will be work time on either lab (and not for other class' homework. Next Tuesday is the only other day where you will be given class time to work on your written report.
