thermodynamics heat engine lesson and lab: The drinking bird toy fully explained
Bringing toys to class is always fun. Through the years I've used toys for all ages and all topics. But explaining to a class of kids how the drinking bird works turned out to be a bit more complicated. So I did my research and built this power point. After getting into it, I decided to do some crazy stuff with some seniors as a little project. Cool videos inside. This power point first surveys the 0 and 1 law of thermodynamics and definitions of heat. The next slides explain in detail how
