Absolute Zero/Kelvin Temp. Scale. Heat energy in foods (cereal + Na peroxide demo).] p. 3 Hot and Cold - Comparing Heat and Temperature Part 1: The Inside Story (beakers of hot & cold water + food coloring) Part 2: Hot + Cold = ? (mixing vials of hot & cold water) p. 11 Tracking the Heat - Investigating Thermal Equilibrium Part 1: All Things Being Equal (temp equilibrium, metal, plastic, wood) Part 2: In Contact (CBL) p. 23 Heat on the Move - Transferring Thermal Energy [Resequence lab activities: radiation; conduction; convection. Radiation follow-ons: IR wxsat imagery; NIFTI.] Conduction Station (conductors & insulators: Al, brass, plastic, wood) Convection Station - Hot and Cold Bottles of Water (inverted bottles) X Convection Station - Water and Ink (substitute pasta demo) Radiation Station (lamp & black & silver cans) [Do CBL/Light Probe follow-up demo.] p. 39 Turn Up the Heat! - Determining the Boiling Point (CBL) [Use crushed ice. Borrow blenders from FACS.] p. 47 Is Freezing Cold? - Determining the Freezing Point (Lauric Acid) p. 51 More Than Just Hot Air - Designing Your Own Experiment (optional) [Tissue paper (or lightweight plastic bags) hot air balloons plus paint stripper heat gun.] [Dr. Dave's "Cold, Colder, Coldest" demos: The nature of common materials at *extremely* low temperatures.] ================================================================= Walter Sanford, Director Carl Sandburg Middle School Center for Sky Awareness 8428 Fort Hunt Road Sandburg Planetarium Alexandria, VA 22308 Fairfax County Public Schools Work: 703-799-6169 -6197 (fax) E-mail: wsanford@wsanford.com Home: 703-765-9392 AMS Project ATMOSPHERE Atmospheric Education Resource Agent & Water in the Earth System (WES) Resource Teacher SCSA, Geosystems, & Camp T-Equity - URL: http://www.wsanford.com/ =================================================================
