Temperature Different Scales

​Unit 5 - Thermal Energy

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​Conceptual Understanding: Thermal energy is transferred in the form of heat. Heat is always transferred from an area of high heat to low heat. More complex concepts and terminology related to phase changes are developed, including the distinction between heat and temperature.

​

PHS.8 Students will demonstrate an understanding of temperature scales, heat, and thermal energy transfer.

​

PHS.8.1 Compare and contrast temperature scales by converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

​

PHS.8.2 Apply particle theory to phase change and analyze freezing point, melting point, boiling point, vaporization, and condensation of different substances.

​So what is Heat?

​Heat is energy that is transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature.

​

If two bodies at different temperatures are brought together, energy is transferred—i.e., heat flows—from the hotter body to the colder.

​Heat always moves from hot to cold!

​Three ways heat is transerred:

​

1. CONDUCTION

2. CONVECTION

3. RADIATION​

Multiple Choice

Heat Energy will always from from ______ to _______

• Cold to Hot

• Hot to Cold

• Right to Left

• Up to Down

​Conduction

​Two objects have to be in physical contact.

​

Heat energy makes atoms move faster​

​Convection

​Convection

• the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of fluid, air or water.

​Radiation

​the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation

​What is Heat?

All matter is made up of molecules and atoms. These atoms are always in different types of motion (translation, rotational, vibrational). The motion of atoms and molecules creates heat or thermal energy. All matter has this thermal energy. The more motion the atoms or molecules have the more heat or thermal energy they will have.

​So, What is TEMPERATURE?

​Temperature - The average kinetic energy of all the molecules of the sample

​What are the temperature scales based on?

​Celcius & Fahrenheit are based on the freezing pt and boiling point of water.

​Kelvin is based on absolute zero. At absolute zero atoms have zero kinetic energy.

​Celcius & Fahrenheit - Temperature measurement

​°C = 5∕9 (°F - 32)

​

°F = 9∕5 °C + 32

​

​Celcius / Fahrenheit Conversion

​Convert 40 deg C to F

°​F = 9/5 °C + 32

= 9(40)/5 + 32

​

= 104 F

Fill in the Blank

Convert 20 deg C to Fahrenheit

$$\degree C\ =\ \frac{9}{5}\degree F\ +\ 32$$  

​Let's convert 68 deg F to Celcius

​⁰C = 5/9 (⁰F - 32)

⁰C = 5/9 (68 - 32)

⁰​C = 5/9 (36)

⁰​C = 20⁰F

​Remember to do what is in the parenthases first

Fill in the Blank

Convert 95 deg F to C

$$\degree C\ =\ \frac{5}{9}\left(\degree F-32\right)$$  

​Converting to Kelvin is EASY!!!!!!

​K = °C + 273

​

°C = K - 273​

​

Convert 10C to Kelvin

$$K\ =\ \degree C\ +\ 273$$
