Numbered Heads Review for Heat (CP Physics)

Numbered Heads Activity Heat Review

Directions:

1. Form into the designated groups

2. Take out one full sheet of paper per group and list the name of the group at the top. Then list the names of the group members and place numbers next to each name (1, 2, 3…..If four members then write 4 also). It doesn’t matter who gets what number.

3. Hand the paper to the instructor. It will be used for assessment and graded.

4. Begin reviewing/ learning the listed concepts. Make up sample questions related to the concept. Try and figure out what question the teacher will ask. Time is limited; so don’t waste it!

5. Once you understand the concepts make sure each group members also understand by assessing them. Do not ask yes or no assessment questions.

Good Assessment. “Sam, could you show me how to do number three on the list?”

Poor Assessment. “Do you guys all know it?”

6. When the instructor calls a number randomly (ex. = 3) the three will go to a designated area alone and respond to a similar question. Make sure they have something to write with and a calculator. After they leave begin studying the next set of concepts for the next round.

7. After a short amount of time the person will then return to the group and their answer will be graded by the teacher and given to the entire group as a communal score.

8. The returning group member may be called again so they should receive extra instruction to help get caught up.

9. The scores are added at the end to determine winners. The top three groups receive extra points on the test.

Concepts:

1. Molecular reason for temperature increase





2. Internal energy definition and understanding of what is happening






3. Kinetic energy of molecules temperature relationship






4. General temperature volume relationship for liquids and known exceptions (water 0 degress C to 2 degrees C)






5. Final Temperature calculation when mixing equal masses of same substance with known temperature of each






6. Familiarity with widely used Temperature scales temperature



7. Temperature increases in Celsius changed into Farenheit increases






8. Common point between C and F scales and MP BP of water for each





9. Heat definition






10. Three heat transfer methods







11. how house insulation works






12. PE KE U relationship





13. Find delta T if Q, M, C are known





14. Description of Temperature during a phase change vs during a phase






15. Interpret heating of water diagram all three phases including calculating M, C, Q or delta T





16. Calculate C to F C to K




17. Calorimetry calculation between hot metal and water Solve for C of metal



18 Calorimetry calculation between hot metal and water Solve for T final of metal and water

Time dilation calculator

Use the link to the special relativity calculator to record three different amounts of time that would pass on earth if you were traveling in space for three years at various speeds. 99 percent would be entered as .99

i movie tutorial

Here is a link to an i movie tutorial. If you already understand how to use movie making software you may skip the tutorial and move onto storyboarding (Written plan scene by scene) of your movie. The storyboard is due 3/8/2011 (next Tuesday)
