Heat and Changing States of MatterTHEMESHeat and Changing States of Matterexplores the basic aspects of heatand thermal energy. Heat of fusionand heat of vaporization are covered,in addition to expansion andcontraction. The transfer of heatthrough conduction, convection andradiation are also discussed, as wellas the heat capacity of various typesof matter.OVERVIEWHeat causes matter to change statesthrough expansion or contraction ofmolecules. The amount of motion in amolecule is a reflection of its kineticenergy. Temperature is a measure ofthe average kinetic energy of the moleculesmaking up an object. If weapply thermal energy to a material,we can increase its kinetic energyand cause it to change states. Heat ismeasured in units called calories.Some materials, such as coal, havestored or potential energy. Thisenergy is released as the coal burns.The heat necessary to change a substancefrom a solid to a liquid, withno temperature increase occurring, iscalled the heat of fusion. The heatnecessary to convert boiling water tosteam is called the heat of vaporization.Most materials expand as theyget hotter and contract as they getcooler.OBJECTIVESTo learn more about the characteristicsof heat and thermalenergy.To discuss the various aspects ofconduction, convection and radiation.To examine heat of fusion andheat of vaporization.To better understand how heat ismeasured and controlled.To explore thermal conductanceand heat capacity.© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia Heat and Changing States of Matter11

INTRODUCTION TOTHE PROGRAMThe presence of heat on the Earth isthe basis of all life. Heat is one of themost important elements known tohumans. It is used to warm ourhomes, provide us with light, cookour food, and produce fuel used fortransportation and electricity. We cansee basic examples of heat all aroundus. A breeze is created by warm airthat is replaced by cool air. A warmstove heats a room as currents circulatethe warm air. Infrared rays fromthe sun cause our skin to burn. Thesephysical examples of heat are bestunderstood if we examine the aspectsof heat on a molecular level. In fact, itis the increased movement of invisiblemolecules that create heat in all substances.INTRODUCTION TOVOCABULARYBefore starting the program, write theword “thermal” on the board. Whatdoes this word mean to students?Where have they heard this word, orrelated words, before?(Thermal means “relating to orcaused by heat.” Some related wordsinclude: thermal underwear, thermos,thermometer, thermodynamics, thermonuclearand thermostat.)DISCUSSION IDEASThe heat that we use on Earth comesfrom six main sources. Can studentsname all six sources? What are someways that we use heat from thesesources? (The six main sources ofheat are the sun, fire, friction, nuclearenergy, chemical reactions, and heatwithin the Earth. Heat from the sunwarms solar panels that make electricalenergy. Heat from fire is used tocook food and produce fuel. Heatfrom the friction of two sticks rubbingtogether can help us build a campfire.Lighting a match is an exampleof a useful chemical reaction that producesheat. Nuclear energy is used toproduce electricity for heating ourhomes.)FOCUSAsk students to think about the variousapplications of heat. What aresome ways that students used heatbefore getting to class today? Whatwould their day have been like withoutheat? Ask them to keep thesethings in mind as they begin the unit.© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia Heat and Changing States of Matter13

JUMP RIGHT INHOW TO USE THE HEAT AND CHANGING STATES OF MATTER AIMS TEACHING MODULEPreparationRead Heat and Changing Statesof Matter Themes, Overview, andObjectives to become familiarwith program content and expectations.Use Preparation for Viewingsuggestions to introduce the topicto students.Viewing HEAT AND CHANGINGSTATES OF MATTERSet up viewing monitor so that allstudents have a clear view.Depending on your classroomsize and learning range, you maychoose to have students viewHeat and Changing States ofMatter together or in smallgroups.Some students may benefit fromviewing the video more than onetime.After Viewing HEAT ANDCHANGING STATES OF MATTERSelect Suggested Activities thatintegrate into your classroom curriculum.If applicable, gathermaterials or resources.Choose the best way for studentsto work on each activity. Someactivities work best for the wholegroup. Other activities aredesigned for students to workindependently, in pairs, or insmall groups. Whenever possible,encourage students to share theirwork with the rest of the group.Duplicate the appropriate numberof Vocabulary, CheckingComprehension, and consumableactivity pages for your students.You may choose to have studentstake consumable activities home,or complete them in the classroom,independently, or ingroups.Administer the Test to assess students’comprehension of whatthey have learned, and to providethem with practice in test-takingprocedures.Use the Culminating Activityas a forum for students to display,summarize, extend, or sharewhat they have learned with eachother, the rest of the school, or alocal community organization.14© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia Heat and Changing States of Matter

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIESWritingThe scientists listed below worked to help us have a better understanding of heat. Ask studentsto choose a scientist from the list. Have each student write a one-page summary of their chosenperson’s contributions to the understanding of heat. Encourage students to use librarybooks and encyclopedia articles to learn more about their chosen topics.60 MinutesNicolas CarnotRudolf ClausiusSir Humphry DavyJosiah GibbsJames JouleLord KelvinJulius R. von MayerBenjamin ThompsonMeeting Individual NeedsAsk students to make sentences using the following words. Encourage them to use a dictionaryif they are uncertain of the meanings. Make sure that their sentences display an understandingof the words as they relate to the program.• conduction - transmission of heat by thermal energy from particle to particle20 Minutes• convection - transfer of heat that occurs when thermal energy causes currents to form ingases or liquids• radiation - process whereby energy in the form of light rays or heat is transmitted fromatoms and molecules as they undergo internal changesLink to the WorldHeat is a very important element in our daily lives. Ask students to name some important usesof heat. Remind them to include uses that are related to transportation, industry and healthcare. (We use heat to furnish the energy that makes automobiles, airplanes and trains move.Heat is also used in factories to make many of the products we use, including plastic items,food products and things made from metals and alloys. Heat also generates electricity whichwe use to warm our homes, produce light and operate appliances. Scientists and medical professionalsuse heat to kill bacteria and perform chemical experiments. Heat is also used todestroy garbage and human waste materials.)20 Minutes© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia Heat and Changing States of Matter15

Hands OnThe following experiment will explain a common example of convection. Students will need ajar of soil, a jar of water and 2 thermometers. Place a thermometer in each of the jars. Set thejars in a patch of sunlight and record the temperature changes. Which material heats morequickly, the water or the soil? (The soil heats more quickly.)60 MinutesRemove the jars from the sunlight, and record the temperature changes again. Which materialcools off more quickly, the water or the soil? (The soil cools off more quickly.)Ask students if they have ever felt a breeze at the beach. How can the experiment aboveexplain this phenomenon? (During the day, the ground warms up and becomes warmer thanthe sea. Warm air over the ground rises as cooler air over the ocean comes in. This causes abreeze. At night, the ground is cooler than the water. Air over the ocean rises while air overthe ground blows away. This also causes a breeze.)In the NewsroomAsk students to watch a television news broadcast, watching closely for stories related to heator thermal energy. Have them keep a list of these stories and how they relate to heat. Remindthem that many everyday occurrences are linked to thermal energy, including space exploration,medical research, energy conservation, weather occurrences and industry.Encourage students to share their findings in a class discussion. How many unexpected topicswere discovered? Did any stories relate to conduction, convection or radiation? Which ones?60 MinutesExtended ActivityWhen something is added to water, the water solution’s freezing point is lowered.This meansit will take the solution longer to freeze than ordinary water. Ask students to consider the followingsubstances: ordinary water, water that has just been boiled and saltwater. Which substancewill freeze first? Which substances will freeze second and third? Why?15 Minutes(Water that has just been boiled will freeze first because most of its air has been released. Thisraises its freezing point. Ordinary water will freeze next, and saltwater will freeze last. Theadded salt raises its freezing point.)16© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia Heat and Changing States of Matter

Critical ThinkingHeat causes many physical changes in our world. Ask students to use what they know aboutheat to answer the following questions. Why do telephone wires sag on a hot day and tighteninto straight lines on a cold day? Why is a jar lid easier to remove if it has been placed underhot water? Why do people in hot, desert countries wear white clothing over their arms andlegs instead of wearing short-sleeved shirts and short pants? Why do architects leave gapsbetween sections of buildings and bridges?20 Minutes(Telephone wires sag on a hot day because heat makes them expand and grow in length. Ona cold day, they contract or shorten. Placing a jar lid under hot water makes the lid expand.This loosens the lid’s grip on the jar and makes its easier to remove the lid. People in hot, desertcountries wear long white garments to protect themselves from the sun. White reflects heat andprovides more protection and a cooler temperature than bare skin would. Architects leavegaps in bridges and buildings because all structures expand in hot weather. If there were nogaps to make room for this expansion, the structures would buckle and eventually fall down.)Connection to HistoryScientists don’t know exactly when early humans began using fire, but the discovery was amajor turning point in our history. How might the first fires witnessed by humans have started?What methods might have been used to ignite and control fire? What important uses did firehave for early civilizations?(The first fires were probably ignited by lightening flashes, sparks from an erupting volcano,or as a result of sunlight burning dried leaves. People probably saw how sparks led to fire.They learned to use flint and other materials to produce these sparks and start fires. Leaves andwood were probably used to control the fires. Early humans used fire to stay warm, cook food,provide light for nighttime activities, make pottery from clay, clear forests to grow food, keepanimals away, and forge weapons and tools from metals.)30 MinutesHISTORYCulminating ActivityUsing what they have learned in the unit, ask each student to write a question related to theprogram. Collect the questions and use them to write a review quiz. After giving the quiz, askstudents if they enjoyed designing the test. How would they feel about designing more tests inthe future?60 Minutes© Copyright 1999 AIMS Multimedia Heat and Changing States of Matter17
