Lesson 10 Day 2: How can we measure energy transfer?

Open Ended

Why would the areas have opposite signs?

Open Ended

Why would the area (mass · temperature change) be the same in each case?

Multiple Select

Which variables can be modified in the simulation to investigate energy transfer at the particle level?

• Temperature of substances

• Type of particles

• Size of the simulation box

• Color of the particles

Multiple Select

What affects how quickly energy flows between two substances of different temperatures?

• The temperature difference between the substances

• The mass of the substances

• The color of the substances

• The type of simulation used
