Energy Transfer (Heat)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The pages of this resource are in landscape view and ready-made to use as slides in a presentation on energy transfer in your high school physical science course. Begin with pertinent vocabulary and finish with an explanation of the first law of thermodynamics using a graph of the heating curve. This would be best used as an accompaniment to your heat transfer lecture.
