High schoolers experience work and power and observe the process of entropy. In this physics lesson, students conduct an experiment that shows work (force & distance), power (work/time), and exemplifies the process of entropy.

In this entropy worksheet, students calculate the change in entropy and rank absolute molar entropies. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.

In this thermodynamics worksheet, learners define and give examples of state functions. Students review the laws of thermodynamics. Student determine the standard formation reactions for given chemical species. This worksheet has 10...

In this thermodynamics worksheet, students match terms to their definitions such as enthalpy, equilibrium, bond energy, and heat capacity. This worksheet has 20 words to match.

While all learners need to know the benefits and responsibilities of working in a small group, this presentation and its vocabulary are geared toward a late high school or early college student. Why do we study in small groups? Why do...

Topping this activity is a comprehensive collection of notes about phase changes. The phase change graph is displayed, along with formulas for the gas laws, and information relating energy to change of phase. After reviewing these notes,...

For this thermodynamics worksheet, learners review the first law of thermodynamics and define enthalpy, state functions, and heat capacity. Students use Hess' law and heats of formation to solve reactions. This worksheet has 30 problems...

A definition of thermodynamics and its laws from the Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems. Part of an online dictionary of scientific terms. Includes hypertext links to other definitions are provided.

A definition of applied thermodynamics, the science of the relationship between heat, work, and systems that analyze energy processes. Related links.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

This is a glossary of terms and definitions used in Chapter 15: Thermodynamics from the AP Physics online text.
