LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

● I can explore thermal energy and how it's transferred. ● I can understand how different materials heat up at different rates. ● I can explain state changes and the frst and second laws of thermodynamics. ● I can understand why thermal energy is spontaneously transferred in one direction.

Standard PHYS.2.2 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. Emphasize that uniform distribution of energy is a natural tendency. Examples could include the measurement of the reduction of temperature of a hot object or the increase in temperature of a cold object. (PS3.B)
