Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What is specific heat capacity?

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

Success Criteria:	You will show your learning by...
The amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes can be calculated using the equation: change in thermal energy = mass ? specific heat capacity ? temperature change Use calculations to show on a common scale how the overall energy in a system is redistributed when the system is changed. The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of the substance by one degree Celsius. Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done. Students should be able to describe how the rate of cooling of a building is affected by the thickness and thermal conductivity of its walls. Students should be able to give examples that illustrate the definition of power eg comparing two electric motors that both lift the same weight through the same height but one does it faster than the other. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material the higher the rate of energy transfer by conduction across the material.

AFL/Key Questions:

What equation is used to calculate change in thermal energy?
The amount of energy stored in or released from a system as its temperature changes can be calculated using the equation: change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
How much energy is needed to increase the temperature of 500 g of lead from 20oC to 45oC? The specific heat capacity of lead is 128 J/kg oC.
mass of lead = 500 x 1000 = 0.5 kg temperature change = 45 x 20 = 25oC energy needed = 0.5 x 128 x 25 = 1600 J (1.6 kJ)
What is meant by the term 'specific heat capacity'?
The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of the substance by one degree Celsius.
What is meant by the term 'power'?
Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done.
How is the rate of a cooling building affected by the thickness and the thermal conductivity of it's walls?
The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the higher the rate of energy transfer by conduction across the material. The higher the thickness of the walls, the slower the cooling effect of a building.
What definition is illustrated in the following example: comparing two electric motors that both lift the same weight through the same height but one does it faster than the other?
The definition illustrated by the following example is power: comparing two electric motors that both lift the same weight through the same height but one does it faster than the other.
What affect does a higher thermal conductivity have?on the rate of energy transfer?
The higher the thermal conductivity of a material the higher the rate of energy transfer by conduction across the material
