Objectives
- I can investigate the relationship between temperature and the change of a state of matter.
- I can investigate and understand temperature scales, heat, and thermal energy.
- I can analyze a time/temperature graph of a phase change experiment to determine the temperature at which the phase change occurs (freezing point, melting point, or boiling point).
- I can compare and contrast methods of thermal energy transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation).
