PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Part 1 LAB

What is covered...
Semester Part 1 Final

Both Lab Days

  • The student will be completing a series of labs
  • The student will follow procedures to complete lab
  • The student will collect data and analyze that data
This describes what you will be doing for BOTH days in lab.

Lab days will take place on May 10th and May 12th)

Students will complete mini labs and identify things in lab.

Part 1 Final

  • Two days of data collections and analysis (May 10th and May 12th)
  • One lab report of a particular lab (assigned at random)
Your Part 1 Semester Final will be graded with the following items:

*Data collection from the 10th and 12th.

*One lab report written over one of the mini labs.

Most Important: Follow directions!!

Please note that the most important thing about this lab is following directions/procedures.

Thermodynamics

  • Using Q = mcΔT
  • Understanding KE and Temperature
  • Types of heat transfer
Q = mcΔT
*Q (Heat Energy/ Joules)
*m (mass/ g)
*c (specific heat capacity/given)
*T (change in temperature/ C)

Understanding KE and Temperature:
*Kinetic Energy is movement
*If kinetic energy of molecules increases, temperature increases
*If kinetic energy of molecules decreases, temperature decreases

Types of heat transfer:
*Conduction: heat transfer by direct touch
*Convection: the movement caused within a fluid or gas (heat rises and cold falls)
*Radiation: heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object

Waves

  • Types of waves
  • v=ƒλ
  • wavelength
Types of waves:
*Transverse (ex. ocean waves, light waves)
*Longitudinal (ex. sound waves, earthquakes)

v=ƒλ
*v (velocity) [m/s]
*ƒ (frequency) [Hz]
*λ (wavelength) [m]

Wavelength:
*The distance between two identical points on a wave (crest to crest OR compression to compression)
*Measure in the metric system (cm, m, km, mm)

Electromagnetic Waves

  • Types of electromagnetic waves
  • Wave behaviors
Types of Electromagnetic Waves:
*Radiowaves
*Microwaves
*Infrared
*Visable Light
*Ultraviolet
*X-rays
*Gamma rays
*Be able to know the difference between them.

Wave behaviors:
*Interference: Two waves meet (constructive and destructive)
*Reflection: wave bounces off a surface and goes another way
*Refraction: wave goes through an object and goes another way
*Diffraction: a wave goes through a small opening and bends and spreads around that opening
