11 Lesson Concepts Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable.
12 Lesson Concepts Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable. Heat can be transmitted via conduction, convection, and radiation.
13 Lesson Concepts Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable. Heat can be transmitted via conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat interacting with material causes it to change temperature, size, or physical state (phase).
14 Lesson Concepts When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of error and improve the basic design to reduce these errors.
15 Lesson Concepts When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of error and improve the basic design to reduce these errors. In designing devices to be used in practical applications, it is important to take into consideration the cost effectiveness of the device: the efficiency of the device in solving the problem compared with its total cost.
16 Lesson Concepts When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of error and improve the basic design to reduce these errors. In designing devices to be used in practical applications, it is important to take into consideration the cost effectiveness of the device: the efficiency of the device in solving the problem compared with its total cost. Problems involving heat flow and temperature changes can be solved using known values of specific heat and latent heat of phase change.

51 Let s pause for questions from the audience.
52 Depending on the level of your class Basic Homework: Compare ice melted in each can. How much ice was protected by your sunshade? What percent of ice was protected by the shade / cost of the shade? Complete p 5, questions 1 5.
53 Depending on the level of your class Advanced Homework: Complete calculations on page 4 using data from the experiment. SHOW ALL YOUR WORK! In the next class you will compare your answers with your group and among groups. Complete p 5, questions 1 5.
54 What do you mean by advanced? Students calculate: angle of sun (trig) surface area (geom) latent heat (calc) energy/time energy/time/surface area And must confidently: convert SI units use Joules avoid careless errors units, units, UNITS
55 Use a clip art stamp on the skills your students would NOT calculate angle of sun (trig) be able to do: calculate surface area (geom) calculate latent heat (calc) calculate energy/time calculate energy/time/surface area
56 convert SI units Use a clip art stamp on the skills your students WOULD be able to do: use Joules avoid careless errors be consistent with units, units, UNITS
57 Compare amount of ice melted in each can. How much ice was protected by your sunshade? What percent of ice was protected by the shade / cost of the shade?
