In a bakery, when do cookies cook faster, is it at lower temperature or at higher temperature? Explain
your answer.
E. Generalization

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average
energy of molecular motion in a substance.
If heat is absorbed or given off by an object, its
temperature changes. If the object absorbs heat
its temperature rises while if the object gives off
heat its temperature decreases.
Heat is transfer of (thermal) energy between
objects or places due to temperature differences.
Heat transfers from an object of higher temperature
to an object of lower temperature.

1. Which of the following energies is transferred from one thin to another because of the temperature differences
between things?
A. Heat B. temperature C. Kinetic energy D. internal energy

3. What causes an ice to melt?
A. the change in weather
B. the presence of hot water
C. the absorption of the heat from its surrounding
D. the release of heat to the cooler surrounding
4. Which of the following will likely happen when a hot and a cold are put in contact with one another?
A. The hot and the cold object will become colder.
B. The hot and the cold object will become hotter.
C. The cold object will become colder while the hot object will become hotter.
D. The cold object will become warmer while the hot object will become colder.
5. How are the amount of heat transferred and the change in temperature of water related?
A. The change in temperature is inversely proportional to the heat transferred.
B. The amount of heat transferred is proportional to the change in temperature.
C. The amount of heat transferred is inversely proportional to the temperature.
D. There is no relation between the heat transferred and the change in temperature.
E. Generalization
Thermal expansion is another effect of heat transfer. It does not apply only to the liquid inside the
thermometer. In fact, it applies to almost everything around us, be it a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
What is thermal expansion and how does it work?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature,
through heat transfer. Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a
substance. When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases.
What must happen to the temperature of a material for thermal expansion to occur?
Factors affecting thermal expansion. Imagine that a long, thin metal wire is heated. The wire expands.
The amount by which it expands depends on three factors: its original length, the temperature change, and
the thermal (heat) properties of the metal itself.

A. Recall
What is thermal expansion? How does it work?
B. Motivation
The students need to understand the difference between particles in a gas, liquid, and a solid. Have
students look at the Gases, Liquids, and Solids page on the Purdue University Chemistry Department
website (https://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html). Here they will see how the
characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases can be explained by particle motion.
Discuss what happens at both the observable and molecular level in these scenarios:
1. Water is placed in the freezer.
2. Ice melts.
3. A puddle evaporates.
C. Discussion

Discuss the answers in the activity given .
D. Application
What is the importance of phase change in the preparation of home-made ice cream?
Ice is in solid form. Therefore, its particles are actually moving more slowly (still locked in lattice
position) than those in the liquid brine (sliding past). Any thermal energy absorbed from the cream will
first be used to raise the temperature of the brine (which requires more energy to accomplish because of
the solute). Once the average kinetic energy of the molecules (aka: temperature) in the brine has increased
enough, then they will begin to transfer energy to the ice, and it will again begin to melt. The temperature
of the brine will not increase above the melting point until all of the ice has melted (all energy is used to
accomplish phase change before increasing temperature.
E. Generalization
Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperature change. However, DURING the phase
change, the temperature stays the same even though the heat energy changes. This energy is going into
changing the phase and not into raising the temperature. That's why water doesn't get hotter while it boils.
The temperature remains constant until the phase change is complete.
When a substance changes from one state, or phase, of matter to another we say that it has undergone a
change of state, or we say that it has undergone a change of phase. For example, ice melts and water;
water evaporates and becomes water vapor.
These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the
material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However,
although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not.
