Description
In this problem set, students will be utilizing data to solve specific heat equation problems and identify if the system is gaining or losing heat. They will practice rearranging the specific heat equation for each variable including initial and final temperature. There are twelve problems that they will work through using the providing specific heat capacity table. This can be used as homework or done in class for additional practice.
This download includes two versions of the same worksheet for students, one without the final answers and one with the final answers.
This activity can be used as a TpT Virtual Activity or printed for in the classroom.
This product includes an answer key!
Students will need a calculator to complete this activity.
Other Products in Learning Sequence:
Specific Heat Self-Guided Inquiry Notes
Ice Cube and Specific Heat Lab
Specific Heat of Unknown Metals Inquiry
Specific Heat and Unknown Metals Lab
Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to…
- Calculate heat lost or gained within a system
- Isolate variables within an equation
- Solve problems using the specific heat equation
Learning Standards:
Performance Expectation: HS-PS3-4 Energy: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics).
Disciplinary Core Idea: PS3:B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transported from one place to another and transferred between systems.
Cross Cutting Concept: When investigating or describing a system, the boundaries and initial conditions of the system need to be defined and their inputs and outputs analyzed and described using models.
Science and Engineering Practice: Plan and conduct an investigation individually to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, and in the design: decide on types, how much, and accuracy of data needed to produce reliable measurements and consider limitations on the precision of the data and refine the design accordingly.
