[!] CYCLE 1 BIG IDEAS: Matter,
Thermal Energy & Motion
Review for assessment!
1.Thermal energy = total energy of particle motion.
Temperature measures average KE. More particles OR faster motion =
more thermal energy.
2.Heat transfers by conduction, convection, radiation.
Energy flows from hot to cold. Materials differ in conductivity and
specific heat.
3.Phase changes: energy changes particle arrangement, not
temperature.
Mass is conserved - same atoms, different arrangement.
4.Energy transforms between KE and PE. Total energy
in a closed system is conserved. Friction converts KE to thermal
energy.

[=] PART 1: SYNTHESIS REVIEW
15 min | 20 pts
A: Thermal Energy & Particles (W1-W2)
How does particle motion relate to temperature and thermal energy?
B: Heat Transfer (W2-W3)
Compare conduction, convection, and radiation. When would you use
each in engineering?
C: Phase Changes & Energy (W3-W4)
Why does temperature stay constant during phase changes? What
happens to the energy?
D: Energy Conservation (W5-W7)
Explain energy conservation using a roller coaster. Where does
energy "go" when it stops?

[X] PART 3: MISCONCEPTION CHECK
20 pts | Correct thinking!
Misconception: "Cold transfers from ice to my hand"
What ACTUALLY happens when you touch ice? (Think: what direction
does energy flow?)
Misconception: "Temperature and heat are the same thing"
Explain the difference using a cup of hot water vs. a bathtub of
warm water.
Misconception: "Metals are naturally colder than other materials"
At room temperature, are metal and wood the same temperature? Why
does metal FEEL colder?
Misconception: "Energy can disappear or be used up"
When a ball stops bouncing, where does its energy go? Did energy
disappear?
