Thermal Energy
Conductivity
We have looked at different energy stores. We now delve deeper into ther thermal energy store and investigate how thermal energy can be transferred. We start by looking at how this happens in solids.
Insulation
We've looked in detail at how thermal energy can be transferred through solid objects. In this lesson you will look at how we stop it moving in order to keep our homes nice and toasty.
Insulation Practical
A summary of of an investigation into insulators. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Infrared Radiation
We've seen how thermal energy is transferred through a solid. Now we'll look at how it can get to us through the vacuum of space from the Sun. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Infrared Radiation and the Temperature of the Earth
We introduce the physics behind Global Warming and Climate change in this lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Specific Heat Capacity
Why does stuff heat up and cool down at different rates? One factor is the specific heat capacity and you'll learn about that in this lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Specific Heat Capacity Practical
You'll look at how to carry out a practical to find the specific heat capacity of an object in today's lesson. You're welcome...
