If we are serious about reducing the energy consumption of our homes to save money and reduce our use of valuable resources –what can we do to cool our homes in summer and warm them in winter? • Wood fireplaces • Draft blockers at base of doors and windows • Blinds on windows • Shade trees around house • Create breeze corridors
The Particle Theory of Matter (again!) • All matter is made up of tiny particles. • Particles have spaces between them. • Particles are moving all the time. • Particles move when they are heated. • Particles attract each other.
Heat, Temperature and Thermal Energy Heat is the transfer of energy from warmer things to cooler things. How does this happen? (best answer please) • particles have self-regulated thermometers • collisions between particles • thermal energy jumps form particle to particle • only special particles carry heat
Since particle are always moving we say that they have …. • thermal energy • potential energy • electric energy • kinetic energy Temperature is defined as the measure of average _______ of particles. • thermal energy • potential energy • electric energy • kinetic energy
The higher the temperature … • the less the average kinetic energy of the particles. • the greater the average kinetic energy of the particles. Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of the particles and the energy of attraction between them. Recal that I gave you a bag full of corks representing thermal energy. You then had to share them among the “particles” in your group. The average corks per person represented temperature and the total number of corks represented thermal energy.
Use the particle theory to explain thermal expansion and contraction.
