Process (How to do the activity)

Open PhET simulation called Energy forms and changes. 2..pngAs.png4..png

  • Drag water beaker on heat stand
  • Drag brick on other heat stand
  • Drag the thermometers close water as well as brick
  • Click on energy symbol
  • Heat and cool the water beaker by dragging the icon towards heat and cooling symbol
  • Observe the change in energy level of water as well as thermometer
  • Note down the changes in your book
  • Drag the iron block on the heating stand..
  • Heat and cool the iron by dragging the icon towards heat and cooling symbol
  • Note down the changes.
  • Heat and cool the brick by dragging the icon towards heat and cooling symbol
  • Observe the heating and cooling level of both iron and brick
  • Compare the heating and cooling capacity of water , iron and bricks

Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)

  1. What change do you observe?
  2. what is the level of temperature in fig 1.0,1.1 and 1.2?
  3. What is cooling?
