TE 3.1 Thermal Energy is NOT Temperature

KWBAT gather more evidence about energy transfer by actively reading the Amplify article “Thermal Energy is NOT Temperature”, and answer critical thinking questions to prepare for the next lesson.

Part 1: Warm Up

On the left is an image of a small cup of tea. The water inside the teacup is very hot, about 80oC. On the right is an image of a large bathtub. The water inside the bathtub is warm, about 40C.
1

Since the temperature of the tea is ________________ than the bathwater, the molecules in the tea have _______________ average kinetic energy than the molecules of warm water in the bathtub.

0

Predict: What do you think total kinetic energy means?

Sentence starter:
I think that total kinetic energy means...

0

Which objects molecules do you think have the greater total kinetic energy?

0

Elaborate: Explain you answer choice for the question above. Why do you think that object has a greater total kinetic energy?

Sentence starter:
I think that the ______ has a greater total kinetic energy because...

Part 2: Thermal Energy is NOT Temperature

The comparison of the hot tea and the warm bathtub water is similar to the comparisons that you will need to make between the two heating systems for Riverdale School—one system’s reservoir is smaller but hotter, while the other system’s reservoir is larger but not as hot. In order to choose between these systems, you must begin by thinking about which system actually has more total kinetic energy to transfer?

Predict: Why did "your brother's" soup get cold while your bowl stayed warm?

1

Find a quote that answers this question:

What is thermal energy?

1

Why does a bowl have more total kinetic energy than a mug?

1

Why does the soup in the mug cool down faster?

1

The bowl has a much higher total kinetic energy because it has a higher temperature.

1

How do you calculate the total kinetic energy of something?

0

Evaluate: How can a hot bowl of soup get to the same temperature as the air in a room?

2

When the soup and the air have the same average kinetic energy, that means that they are....

0

Find a quote that answers this question:

If the hot soup transferred energy to the air, why did the air not get hotter?

1

Analyze the image: The bowl of soup and the mug have the same ________ but they have different _____________ because of the differing amount of molecules.
