Presentation Transcript

  1. Practical Work for Learning Melting ice

  2. Learning outcomes • generate and evaluate scientific arguments • present a scientific argument using words and diagrams • describe how energy is transferred through a solid conductor from higher to lower temperature • apply ideas about energy transfer by thermal conduction in unfamiliar situations.

  3. Comparing the two blocks: plastic and metal

  4. Predict • Which ice cube will melt first? • Why? • Why does ice melt? • Why might one ice cube melt more quickly than the other?

  5. Observe • Describe what you saw happen • Are the results what you predicted?

  6. Explain • Write a scientific explanation of what you saw happening. • Use these terms in your explanation: • temperature • energy • conduction • Extension: why does metal feel colder to touch than plastic?

  8. Diagram of energy flow into ice

  9. Diagram of energy flow out of finger

  10. Further Questions • Ice melts more quickly on a metal block than on a plastic one. Would the result be different if ice cubes were placed in a metal box and a plastic box, so that they were completely enclosed? • You are supplied with samples of several different materials. How could you adapt this experiment to put them in order, from best conductor to worst conductor? • Why do some materials feel warmer to the touch than others?
