Sizzling — Heat, Temperature & Change Base Lodge
Hi!
I'm Sizzling.
Welcome to Base Lodge!
Will you help me investigate heat, temperature & change?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Temperature describes how hot or cold something is, measured with a thermometer.
Heat is energy transferred because of a temperature difference.
Which object is warmer?
- A. The 40°C object
- B. The 20°C object
- C. Both have equal temperature
The answer is A: The 40°C object
Heat transfers from warmer to cooler regions.
Objects can change temperature as energy moves between them and their surroundings.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Heat transfers from warmer to cooler regions.
Objects can change temperature as energy moves between them and their surroundings.
Which way does heat transfer in the model?
- A. From 20°C toward 40°C without another process
- B. From neither object despite contact
- C. From 40°C toward 20°C
The answer is C: From 40°C toward 20°C
Our model places a 40°C object beside a 20°C object
in thermal contact.
The expected transfer is from the warmer object toward the cooler one;
temperature and heat are related but not identical quantities.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our model places a 40°C object beside a 20°C object
in thermal contact.
The expected transfer is from the warmer object toward the cooler one;
temperature and heat are related but not identical quantities.
What instrument measures temperature?
- A. An anemometer
- B. Thermometer
- C. Wind vane
The answer is B: Thermometer
Temperature describes how hot or cold something is, measured with a thermometer.
Heat is energy transferred because of a temperature difference.
Nice investigating!
