Convection Video Viewed in Class



Conduction Video Viewed in Class and Worksheet Answers



Conduction

On a cold winter day, why would an iron post in a park feel much colder to the touch than a wooden bench?

Iron is a better heat conductor than wood. The iron will conduct the heat away from your hand faster than wood; this makes your hand feel colder when you touch iron

Potatoes cook from the outside in.
a)     Why does a small potato cook faster than a large potato?

Smaller potatoes have fewer particles, so heat takes less time to reach the centre.
b)    Why does sticking a metal skewer through the middle of a potato make it cook faster?

Heat will be conducted through the skewer into the centre of the potato and it will cook from the inside out.

"World On Fire"
Lyrics by Sarah McLachhlin

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in, yeah I'll try to hold it in

[Chorus]
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
(Try and bring my share)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able

I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

[Chorus]

Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
The fortune of one that means less for some

[Chorus X2]
