Review of speed and velocity, scalar, and vector quantities. Use an example of a moving object, like a car, traveling at constant velocity. Ask about the acceleration, and elicit that there is no acceleration, and why. Define acceleration as a change in velocity. Add to that definition that it also is a rate, therefore needs a time element. Extend the definition to read a change in velocity per unit of time. From a drawing of a car traveling at a constant speed in a circle, inquire if the car is accelerating. Discuss that acceleration also can involve a change in direction.
Rewrite the definition to include change in velocity or direction per unit of time. Change in velocity is velocity final - velocity initial. Write the formula as a= final velocity-initial velocity/time. Present the sample problems, solve them together and then present the application problems to be solved by Baylie.

Discussion and evaluation of chapter questions given at the end of the chapter. These involve multiple choice, reasoning, inference, and writing. A final look at types of energy, classifications, and transformations ended the class.

Assessment questions from textbook chapter 10... Study guide review and review of transfer of heat from warmer areas to cooler areas by conduction, convection, and radiation.

Review questions from text on lesson 1 of this unit involving recall,classification, application, inference, and writing. View and discuss how thermal energy is different from temperature. View and discuss the 3 methods of heat transfer; conduction, convection, and radiation.

Discussion following a video which defined and differentiated between temperature, thermal energy, and heat. Examples were shown of all three, along with the 3 ways which thermal energy can be transferred. The law of conservation of energy was presented and demonstrated through various examples.

Discuss temperature in terms of average kinetic energy. List and differentiate between the 3 scales used to measure temperature, Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. Stress that a reference point is needed to compare the average kinetic energies. Explain Thermal energy in terms of the total energy of all the particles in an object. Thermal energy depends on amount of particles.

Discussion on how all forms of energy can be transformed into other forms of energy... Examples of the most common forms of energy, and examples of thermal to chemical, chemical to mechanical, chemical to thermal, and mechanical to kinetic. Application questions answered from text along with summary questions...

Review of potential and kinetic energy.List and discuss the many forms of energy, including nuclear, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and chemical.Answer assess questions from the textbook. Discuss the transformation of energy from one form into another, along with examples.

A review of the phases of matter, along with examples was used to start the class. Energy was briefly described/defined and the 2 basic types of energy, potential and kinetic, explained and defined. Thermal energy was shown to be the total potential and kinetic energy of a substance. Thermal energy was explained as energy which can be transferred from object to object, from hot to cold objects. Cold was defined as the loss of thermal energy.

Review what a series circuit involves. Work with the formula of how to determine the total resistance of a series circuit and solve for total resistance when 2-3 resistors are in the series. Examine how a parallel circuit is arranged, and how it differs from a series circuit. Show how the current flows through different pathways in a parallel circuit, allowing all bulbs to remain lit if one goes out.
