This lesson will provide an example of calculating the total amount of energy required for water to change from a solid at a temperature below zero celsius to a gas at a temperature above 100 degrees. A labeled phase change diagram will...

Have you ever wondered why we wear clothes? I mean, beyond the obvious. Why does wearing a jacket in the cold keep your warmer? What is happening to all the heat inside your body? In this video episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini...

The concept of specific heat capacity and the heat of fusion are both reviewed in this video. [14:49]

Intuition behind how heat gets transferred through thermal conduction. [7:15]

Intuition behind formula for thermal conductivity. [6:19]

Why metal at room temperature feels cooler than wood at room temperature. [7:22]

A video demonstration showing two balloons that are placed over a flame for a very difference result! Students are asked to observe, predict, and explain what happened in the demonstration. Teacher will need to give further explanation...

This lesson will give a brief introduction to calculating heat (Q) by using mass, specific heat, and change in temperature. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Heat."

A site dedicated to help students prepare for the AP Physics B test. This specific site reviews temperature and heat including gas laws, specific and latent heat, heat transfer, thermal expansion, and mechanical equivalence of heat. Site...
