|---|---|---|---|
| When used | For instructor and demonstrations | For each group of 3 | For each student |
|
Unit 2 Week 4 Day 7 Q2.1 – Q2.5 Exploring the difference between heat and temperature |
4 blocks (aluminum, steel, wood, paper pad or Styrofoam), or kitchen items made of these materials; Regular bulb and tube liquid thermometer that reads between 0 and 100 degrees C |
U2H2. Diagnostic Question about Temperature | |
|
Begin Day 7, Q2.6 – Q2.18 Exploring energy transfer in the context of mixing hot and cold water
|
If in a room without a sink:
Big pot with cold water from tap Big pot with hot water from tap or on hot plate Dippers, hot pot holder Big bucket for waste water |
Qualitative exploration:
2 digital temperature probes and related software (We use vernier.com probes and Logger lite software) or 2 bulb and tube thermometers); cup for hot water (ceramic or Styrofoam), Plastic cup for cold water, 1 clear plastic cup marked with 1,2,3,4 equal divisions, 2 quart containers for hot and cold water, 2 trays. (laptop computer, perhaps brought to class by group member if using digital temperature probes) U2H1 Exit Ticket |
U2H3 Table.II.1 |

Day 8 Continue exploration of thermal phenomena (Additional time would be helpful for students needing to build skill with algebra) Question 2.16 NGSS crosscutting concepts used in Units 1 & 2 |
Same equipment as Day 7 | Quantitative Exploration:
Same equipment as Day 7 (Group creates Table II.2)
