Particle Heating and Cooling Simulation Flashcards
What are we studying
What part of the cup is the most important to keep the water in it hot or cold.
What is Particle Heating and Cooling Simulation
A stimulation that allows students to make observations about how particle motion changes as the overall temperature of a liquid changes.
What does Particle Motion mean
The movement of tiny particles like atoms or molecules.
What part of the fancy cup let it keep its cool or heat
The double walls and tight lid insulate the cup.
What is thermal energy
is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
What happens when warm air hits cool air, (condensation)
The warm air is less dense than cool air so it rises when they come in contact. When the warm air rises it cools down causing the water vapor in it to become tiny water drops that are shown on the side of the cup.
Which is more dense warm air or cool air.
cool air.
Condensation example
water vapor on a cup
Why does the regular cup not allow its water to keep its temperature for long
The thin plastic allows the cold from the inside to escape.
vacuum insulation
a layer of empty space between two walls of material.
What is the scientific word for heat?
thermal
which is more accurate a sensor or thermometer
sensor
what is a conductor in science
a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it
what does insulation mean
the process of keeping heat, sound, or electricity from spreading
What are Convection currents
Convection currents are the result of differential heating.
