Simple Thermodynamics of Transportation

Students differentiate scalar and vector quantities. In this series of physics lesson, students calculate speed, velocity and acceleration. They explain the physics involved in transportation.

Not all energy sources are renewable, as learners investigate in this unit. Made up of six lessons that span a few weeks of instruction, the unit has learners examining US energy reserves and consumption, using data to draw conclusions...

While this resource does not provide problems for chemistry learners to solve, it outlines skills that they should have and concepts that they should grasp. Topics include thermodynamics, periodicity, redox equilibria, transition metals,...

Students investigate the laws of thermodynamics. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explore the background of thermodynamics and identify the first and second laws and relate it to engines and refrigerators.

Young biochemists examine the reactions that make life possible with this set of practice problems. Focusing specifically on carbohydrate compounds, these multi-step questions challenge students to demonstrate their understanding of the...

Your students will love this PowerPoint! Great visuals will support understanding of membrane proteins, cell membranes, active transport, and diffusion. There are a lot of details on each page and all are relevant. The presentation could...

Using a sugar solution as an example Sal is able to describe the movement of water molecules from an area of a certain concentration to another.

Learners watch videos about various modes of transportation, they examine the energy transformations that occur in each, and they be introduced to the laws of thermodynamics.

Students examine the relationship between energy and the environment. In groups, they participate in experiments to discover the law of thermodynamics and the differences between potential, kinetic and mechanical forms of energy. They...

Students explore different machines and the components that encompass the science of physics.  In this physics lesson students explore how things move.
