LIVE CLASS 12/13
Objective: We Will Expand Upon The Second Law of
Thermodynamics Through Entropy Related
Demonstrations. We also will be briefed on
additional laws of thermodynamics.

RECAP
Second Law of Thermodynamics states that systems naturally move
towards increased entropy, so thermal energy moves from hotter to colder temperatures.
EXTERNAL ENERGY IS NEEDED TO DECREASE ENTROPY.
Entropy is a measurement of disorder or randomness
3
The entropy of a system is at it's lowest possible level at absolute zero.
The Third Law
If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they all are in thermal equilibrium with each other
The Zeroeth Law
Other Thermodynamic Laws

You will increase order by finding as many 4 letter or more words (school appropriate) as possible from the letters on the page. No proper nouns (such as people names or places).
Person with the most words wins
Now, we will complete a Scrabble like game where high entropy will be represented as a page of random letters

OPTIONAL: Weekend Plans - What activities are you planning on doing which will result in some form of high entropy being changed to low entropy?

17
We will review all covered topic 1 and 2 subjects and complete a quiz.
NEXT LESSON
We demonstrated how energy and effort are needed to change high entropy scenarios to low entropy ones.
