  1. The Amazing Race You are a participant in the challenge of traveling with “Heat & Temperature Technologies.” In order to win, you must successfully travel from Columbus to Los Angeles. There will be several challenges along the way for you to complete before you reach your final destination. Heat and Temperature Technology

  2. Particle Theory of Matter Three States of Matter Challenge One You are travelling from Columbus to Birmingham by “Greyhound Bus.” It is 25 degrees Celsius in the morning and it is supposed to reach a high of 38 degrees Celsius by early afternoon. Around 3:00 pm the bus driver starts to sway back and forth on the highway until finally he screeches to the side of a road. He notices he has a flat tire, however, there is no debris found in or around the tire. Using the particle theory, explain what might have happened!

  3. Particle Theory of Matter Three States of Matter The Particle Theory What’s it mean?!

  4. Particle Theory of Matter Three States of Matter Challenge One“The Greyhound Blown Tire”

  5. Challenge Two Since the bus will take a few hours to repair you are desperately looking for a quicker ride. Out in a farmers field is a young gentleman just about to get into a HOT AIR BALLOON. You ask him for a ride to Little Rock.

  6. b c a The Hot Air Balloon ChallengeWhat do we need to know? Before you can get in you need to explain how convection works in case you are needed to pilot the balloon. Fill in the diagram using these words: heat source, less dense air particles, more dense air particles

  7. B A The Hot Air Balloon ChallengeWhat do we need to know? Using the Particle Theory, explain the difference between balloon A and balloon B.

  8. Challenge Three The hot air balloon stops in Little Rock. You thank the gentleman and go on your way. About 30 minutes later you take a break to have a drink of hot chocolate from your thermos. You start to wonder how a thermos works.

  9. Heat Transfer - Definitions How Stuff Works - Thermos The Thermos ChallengeHow does conduction, convection, and radiation play a role? A Label the diagram of the thermos using the following words: screw top vacuum outer shell contents silvered glass B C D E

  10. How Stuff Works The Thermos ChallengeHow does conduction play a role?

  11. How Stuff Works The Thermos ChallengeHow does convection play a role?

  12. How Stuff Works The Thermos ChallengeHow does radiation play a role?

  13. Challenge Four After you have warmed up from your hot chocolate you are wondering what the temperature outside is. The problem is, you do not have a thermometer. Use the following site to explain how to make your own thermometer.

  14. Hands-On Science The MacGyver Challenge Creating your own thermometer

  15. Challenge Five After you have found the temperature outside, you decide to continue walking down the highway. You eventually get picked up by a man going to Oklahoma City. Just outside of Oklahoma City, you come across a huge brush fire. You get out of the car and feel the heat from the fire and start moving away. How does fire demonstrate all three forms of heat transfer?

  16. How Stuff Works The Fire ChallengeHow does fire demonstrate all three forms of heat transfer?

  17. Hands-On Science Challenge Six What is the formula to convert degrees Celsius into degrees Fahrenheit?

  18. Challenge Seven After helping the fire department put out the grass fire, you decide to hop a train going West. After a long journey it comes to a sudden stop due to a break in the track. You have almost arrived in Los Angeles where the temperature is surprisingly around 32 degrees Celsius. The foreman is unsure of how far to space the rail road ties apart in order to compensate for the expansion and contraction of the rail. You must help him fix the railroad in order to complete your journey.

  19. Working on the Railroad ChallengeExpansion and Contraction Use the chart to find the correct distance the foreman needs to space the rail. Track - Expansion and Contraction

  20. Congratulations!!
