Simulating Temperature Change & Investigating Energy Transfer Simulation

Description

This resource is for teachers who's district has adopted the Amplify Science Curriculum but find the program repetitive and/or inadequate but the included simulation tools are done well and worth while to have their students use to learn the content.

This handout will have students using the Thermal Energy Simulation Tool from Amplify Science blending the sim work from Lesson 2.3 and Lesson 2.4 into a activity where students can use the Amplify Science Thermal Energy Simulation tool to build on their understanding of the connection between temperature and the kinetic energy of the particles and how energy transfers from warmer objects to cooler objects.

You must have access to Amplify Science for this resource to be most useful.

NGSSMS-PS3-4

Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample. Examples of experiments could include comparing final water temperatures after different masses of ice melted in the same volume of water with the same initial temperature, the temperature change of samples of different materials with the same mass as they cool or heat in the environment, or the same material with different masses when a specific amount of energy is added. Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.

NGSSMS-PS3-3

Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer. Examples of devices could include an insulated box, a solar cooker, and a Styrofoam cup. Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.

NGSSMS-PS3-5

Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Examples of empirical evidence used in arguments could include an inventory or other representation of the energy before and after the transfer in the form of temperature changes or motion of object. Assessment does not include calculations of energy.
