T When particles are given heat energy they move faster, this because they gain kinetic (movement) energy. What type of energy do particles gain when they are heated?

W A change of state from solid to liquid, liquid to gas or solid to gas requires an increase of the internal energy of the material. How does the internal energy of a material change as state changes?

D Add energy arrows to diagram from previous lesson.

D DESIRABLE: Latent heat experiment such as: Practical 26 - Classic Chemistry Practicals SHARED AREA\KS3\Other Resources\ClassicExp\Kev21-30.doc or http://wordpress.mrreid.org/2009/12/08/experiments-that-actually-work-latent-heat-of-fusion/ Ideally heating though. I like the idea measuring the water bath and the stearic acid. Good opportunity for data loggers.

W An increase of the internal energy of the material does not always result in a increase in temperature. Some energy is used in order to change state. Why does the temperature of water not increase during melting and evaporation?

W Internal energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy stored in the stretch 'attraction' between the particles.
