Description

In this game, you will try to escape from a room that is almost entirely dark. As you wander around the halls you will encounter information blocks and question gates. Pick up clues from the blocks along the way and answer questions about temperature, thermal energy, and energy exchange. Be patient as you play and try to find your way out of the study room.

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Changing Temperature. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9.

Main Concepts

Thermal energy, also known as internal energy, is the energy associated with the random movement of particles in a substance.
The total thermal energy of a substance is proportional to the number of atoms in the substance.
The total thermal energy of a substance is proportional to its temperature.
The total thermal energy of a substance is not necessarily equal to its temperature.
The total thermal energy of a substance depends on the state of the substance.
The more material there is, the slower it will heat up or cool down.
The faster the motion of particles in a substance, the greater the temperature.
The amount of of thermal energy needed to change the temperature of a sample by a given amount depends on the type of the matter.
The amount of of thermal energy needed to change the temperature of a sample by a given amount depends on the size of the sample.
Temperature scales include: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
Temperature can be measured with a thermometer.
Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to raise 1 g of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
Some materials heat up and cool down faster than others because they have different heat capacities.
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of matter.
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from a substance with a higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature.
Heat flow increases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the cooler substance.
Heat flow decreases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the warmer substance.
Energy is measured in units of Joules.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are the three scales for measuring temperature? Which is most commonly used in the USA? What is absolute zero? What are the freezing and boiling points of water in celsius and fahrenheit?

After the Game

A beaker of water filled to 100 mL has a temperate of 59 degrees Celsius. A second beaker of water filled to 100 mL has a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. Which beaker has more thermal energy? Which has more thermal energy, a hot cup of coffee or a cold pond?
