(what you should know) || ==Resources== || ==Homework== || ==Deadline== ||
 * ==Week/date== || ==Activity== || ==Learning outcomes==
 * 2 6/1/14 || **Lesson 1**
 * Heat and temperature**


 * Lesson 2**
 * Expansion and contraction** || * temperature is a measure of the movement of particles within a system or object (its internal energy)
 * celsius is the scientific, everyday scale based on 0 o C as the freezing point of water and 100 o C as the boiling point of water (both at normal atmospheric pressure)
 * the kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale, defined as 0K having zero energy
 * a change in temperature of 1 o C is the same as a change of 1K
 * the electromagnetic radiation emitted by an object can indicate its temperature (red hot, white hot, IR hot)


 * with few exceptions, materials expand when heated due to increased motion of particles
 * the amount of expansion is extremely important in construction
 * the coefficient of linear expansion is a measure of how much a material expands
 * solids expand more than liquids, and gases expand more than liquids (if pressure is constant) for the same temperature rise
 * understand what this equation means and how to use it D l = a . l . D t || Ilmiö chapter1 Lämpötila p. 85-88

Ilmiö chapter 2 Lämpölaajeneminen p.89-94 ||  ||   ||
 * 3 13/1/14 || **Lesson 3**
 * Heat capacity**

p.99-104 || Copy and label the change of state graph. Include the keywords in English. Ilmiö p.110 ||  ||
 * Lesson 4**
 * Changing state** || * understand what this equation means and how to use it D Q = m.c . D t
 * use the term specific heat capacity co rrectly, and give it s unit
 * perform simple calculations to find heat energy or temperature changes
 * explain the concept of latent heat and identify examples of it from graphs of cooling or heating where there is a change of state
 * identify when energy is released or absorbed by a substance during a change of state eg when condensing heat energy is released || Ilmiö chapter 3 Lämpöenergia
 * 4 20/1/14 || **Lesson 5**
 * How heat moves: conduction, convection and radiation** || * recall heat moves from hotter to colder regions
 * understand that objects at the same temperature still exchange energy, but by the same amount in each direction (thermal equilibrium)
 * describe the main heat transfers methods in solids, liquids, gases and in vacuo.
 * identify which mechanisms need particles
 * use the particle model of matter to explain conduction and convection
 * discuss why your tongue freezes so quickly if you lick a metal post at -20'C !
 * identify the main heat transfer mechanisms in familiar situations, for example microfibre jackets, fluffy birds, saunas || Ilmiö chapter5 Lämmön siirtyminen

Sea breezes || Write examples where heat moves by 1. conduction and radiation 2. convection and radiation 3. convection and conduction || by next lesson ||
 * 5 27/1/14 || **Lesson 6 Heat loss from different surfaces** || * carry out a fair test to investigate the heat loss from similar objects
 * identify that black, white and shiny surfaces emit heat at different rates.
 * record data accurately in the correct format with repeated readings, correctly labeled columns (Quantity/unit) and the correct number of decimals places for data
 * add lines of best fit to graphs
 * use graphs to make a conclusion about experimental data
 * evaluate an experiment in detail ||  ||   ||   ||
