Description

This presentation explains thermo equilibrium, how heat moves, and how some materials are chosen depending on how well they transfer heat. Students learn to look at the thermal properties (conductors and insulators) of materials around them, and why designers choose one material over another for a given task.

AC9S3U03 9

Identify sources of heat energy and examine how temperature changes when heat energy is transferred from one object to another

AC9TDE4K01 9

Examine design and technologies occupations and factors including sustainability that impact on the design of products, services and environments to meet community needs

AC9TDE4K02 9

Describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system

AC9TDE4P01 9

Explore needs or opportunities for designing, and test materials, components, tools, equipment and processes needed to create designed solutions

AC9S4H02 9

Consider how people use scientific explanations to meet a need or solve a problem

ACSSU049 8.4

Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another

ACTDEK010 8.4

Recognise the role of people in design and technologies occupations and explore factors, including sustainability that impact on the design of products, services and environments to meet community needs

ACTDEK011 8.4

Investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a product or system

ACTDEK013 8.4

Investigate the suitability of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment for a range of purposes

ACSHE062 8.4

Science knowledge helps people to understand the effect of their actions

VCSSU063

Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another; a change in the temperature of an object is related to the gain or loss of heat by the object

VCDSTS023

Recognise the role of people in design and technologies occupations and explore factors, including sustainability, that impact on the design of solutions to meet community needs

VCDSTC024

Investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a designed solution

VCDSTC027

Investigate the suitability of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment for a range of purposes

VCSSU056

Science knowledge helps people to understand the effects of their actions
