How can you describe temperature?Have you ever used Fahrenheit or Celsius to describe the temperature? Why can’t you just make up your own temperature scale?

Procedure 1. Read and complete a lab safety form.

2. Use a ruler and a permanent marker to divide a clear plastic straw into equal parts. Number the lines. Give your scale a name.

3. Add a room-temperature colored alcohol-water mixture to an empty plastic water bottle until it is about 1/4 full.

4. Place one end of the straw into the bottle with the tip just below the surface of the liquid. Seal the straw onto the bottle top with clay.

5. Place the bottle in a hot water bath, and observe the liquid in your straw. Record your observations in the Data and Observations section below.

Data and Observations

Think About This 1. Why is it important for scientists to use the same scale to measure temperature?

2. Key Concept What are some ways to make the liquid in your thermometer rise or fall?

Thermal Energy, Temperature, and Heat A. Kinetic and Potential Energy

1. Any moving object has energy.

2. The energy that is stored due to the interactions between objects or particles is

called energy.

3. A moving soccer ball that has been kicked into the air has kinetic energy

and energy; together they make up the

energy of the ball.

B. What is thermal energy?

1. The that make up matter have kinetic energy and potential energy.

2. The sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy in the particles that make

up an object is called energy.

3. Thermal energy describes the of the particles in solids, liquids, and gases.

C. What is temperature?

1. Scientists define temperature in terms of energy.

2. The average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material is the

of the material.

a. A material with a(n) temperature has particles that have a greater average kinetic energy than a material with a(n)

temperature.

b. Particles whose average kinetic energy is large are moving at a(n)

average speed than particles whose average kinetic energy is smaller.

3. Two materials can have the same temperature but different

energy. For example, ice and water have the

same average kinetic energy, but liquid water has thermal energy because its particles have greater potential energy than those of ice.

and rises in a(n) tube

when its temperature goes up; the liquid and its level drops when the temperature goes down.

b. A(n) thermometer measures the resistance in an electronic circuit and converts this measurement into

a(n) .

5. Scientists around the world use the scale.

a. Water freezes at ºC and boils

at ºC.

b. Scientists also used the Kelvin scale; water freezes at K

and boils at K.

c. The lowest possible temperature for any material is called

zero and is K; at this temperature the particles in a material would not be moving and would have no

D. What is heat?

1. is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer

object to a(n) object.

2. All objects have energy, but heating occurs only when

energy is transferred from one object to another object.

a. The rate at which heating occurs depends on the difference in

between two objects; the greater the difference, the

heat is transferred.

b. Heating continues until all substances that are in

have reached the same .

Convert Between Temperature Scales Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy on the molecules in a material. Two common temperature scales are Fahrenheit and Celsius.

To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula:

°C = (°F - 32)

________ 1.8

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula:

°F = (°C × 1.8) + 32

Convert 113°F to Celsius.

Step 1 Identify what you want to find and the value given in the problem.You want to convert the given, 113°F, to Celsius degrees.

Step 2 Substitute the values into the correct formula and solve. Work inside the parentheses first.

To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula with Celsius degrees on the left side.

Lord Kelvin (William Thomson)

Enrichment

Applying Critical-Thinking SkillsDirections: Answer each question.

1. Analyze How did Thomson’s development of an absolute scale of temperature change science?

2. Infer “Hubris” is excessive pride, whether deserved or undeserved. Was Lord Kelvin’s statement about new discoveries in physics an indication of hubris? Explain your reasoning.

William Thomson was born in 1824 in Belfast, Ireland. He was an intellectually gifted youth and began high-school level classwork by the age of 10. At 16, he became fascinated with Fourier’s The Analytical Theory of Heat. His study of this work was the start of a lifelong involvement with mathematics that eventually led to the development of what we now know as the Kelvin scale of temperature.

Academic GiftsThroughout his life, Thomson studied

astronomy, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. He soon became known as an excellent student. In 1841, Thomson entered Cambridge University at the age of 17. There he studied with some of the most important mathematicians, physicists, and engineers of the day. He published several papers while at Cambridge and was given many awards and fellowships.

By the time he finished at Cambridge, his interests were concentrated in the areas of heat, electricity, and magnetism. In 1846, Thomson became the chair of natural philosophy (physics) at the University of Glasgow. He held this post until 1899.

AchievementsWhile he was at Glasgow, Thomson

began to collaborate with others in studies

of thermodynamics. These studies led him to propose an absolute scale of temperature in 1848. This scale became known as the Kelvin Scale after 1892, when Thomson received the title Baron Kelvin of Largs.

Thomson discovered how gases cool when they expand, called the Joule-Thomson effect. Among his most famous work is his contribution to the laying of a telegraph cable under the Atlantic. For this project, he invented a telegraph receiver, a compass, and an instrument for measuring tides and calculating tide tables. These achievements made him wealthy, gained him membership to the Royal Society, and earned him the title of Sir William Thomson from Queen Victoria in 1866.

Hubris and Limited ForesightThomson, now Lord Kelvin, calculated

the age of Earth based on its rate of cooling. When his estimate did not correlate with those of other scientists, he denied the accuracy of the other scientists’ work. He declared that Earth was too young for these theories to have merit based on his own scientific calculations.

Seven years before his death in 1907 he declared with confidence that “There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now.”

How to Conserve Heat Last year, your friend had science class in the same room that you have science class in

this year. He complained that in the winter, part of the room was cold. You told him that you would find out why and present your findings to your class. You will develop a series of several—at least five—steps to take to maintain warmth in your classroom during the winter.You will need the following materials:1 outdoor thermometer or four if they are available1 poster boardcolored markers

Procedure: 1. Draw a map of your classroom on the poster board. Sketch furniture and other large

pieces of furniture. Mark the location of windows and doors.

2. Take the temperature in at least four zones inside your classroom. Record the temperatures and mark them on your map, indicating start of class.

3. In 20 minutes, take the temperatures in your zones again. Mark them on your map, indicating 20 minutes.

4. On your map, show by using your colored markers which areas are consistently warmer and which areas are consistently cooler. Use red or orange for warmest. Then use yellow, green, and finally blue for the coolest.

5. Write a summary of your findings. Describe which areas are coolest. Are they near windows or an outside door? How can heat be lost through a window? Which areas are warmest? Which method of heat transfer is making other areas warmer? Describe how the forced- air heater moves heat through the room.

How do different materials affect thermal energy transfer? You might have noticed that thermal energy moves more easily through some substances than others. For example, juice stays colder in a foam cup than in a can. How does the container’s material affect how quickly thermal energy moves through it?

Materials 100-mL graduated cylinder

2 thermometers

Also needed: rubber band, 1-L square plastic container, test containers (metal can, glass jar, plastic jar, foam cup, ceramic cup), hot water, room-temperature water, cardboard square

Learn ItTo form a hypothesis is to propose an explanation for an observation. The explanation should be testable. One way to test a hypothesis is by gathering data that shows whether the hypothesis is correct.

Try It 1. Read and complete a lab safety form.

2. Observe the test containers. Write a hypothesis that explains why you think a certain material will slow the transfer of thermal energy more than others.

3. Use the table on the next page to record your data.

4. Each lab group will test one container. Stand your test container in the center of a 1-L plastic container.

5. Add 125 mL of hot water to the test container. Measure and record the water’s temperature.

6. Add room-temperature water to the plastic container until the level in both containers is equal. Measure and record the room temperature water’s temperature.

7. Place a cardboard square over the test container. Use two thermometers to take the temperature of the water in both containers every 2 min for 20 min. Record your data in your table.

8. Compare your data with the data gathered by the other teams. Rank the test containers from slowest to fastest thermal energy transfer.
