    The simulation models how heat is transferred between substances and energy is converted between forms. Students can drag thermometers to materials - iron, brick, water - and observe temperature changes as the materials are heated over a fire or placed in contact. The materials gain energy from the fire and lose energy to cooler substances and the air, causing their temperatures to rise and fall until reaching equilibrium with their surroundings. The simulation demonstrates that heat and energy are exchanged between objects and can be lost to the air.

    Energy Forms and Changes - Student Handout

    The simulation you will be working with today is a type of


    model. It simulates the relationship between energy types
    and demonstrates how heat is transferred between
    substances and how energy is converted from one form to
    another form in a system.

    You have 3 materials


    to work with, two
    solids iron and brick
    and a liquid, water.
    You can click and
    drag a thermometer
    to each of these
    materials. To see
    how the energy flows
    click on the white
    box in the upper right
    to the left of the
    words Energy
    Symbols. You can
    also move three
    materials so that they
    are over the heat
    source and watch what
    happens.

    What does this simulation show you about heat and energy?
    The simulation shows how energy movement effects
    temperature of different objects.

    What happened to the temperature of the brick and the


    temperature of the water?
    The brick is heated by the fire. The when the brick is
    placed in the cool water it heats the water stabilize
    each other, until they are equal.

    How did the energy move?


    The energy moves into the brick from the fire but some
    is lost to the air as it gains energy. When the brick is
    placed into the water it transfers some of its energy to
    the water.

    Repeat the same experiment but this time heat the iron and
    place it in the water.

    Record your observations:


    The fire heats the iron quickly and the iron gains energy
    from it but as it gains energy it loses some to the air.
    When placed in the water the temperatures stabilize
    each other, until they are equal. The energy moves into
    the iron from the fire but some is lost to the air as it
    gains energy. When the iron is placed into the water it
    transfers some of its energy to the water.

    Repeat the same experiment but this time heat the water
    and place the cool iron in the water.

    Record your observations:


    The fire heats the water quickly and the water gains
    energy from it but as it gains energy it loses some to
    the air. When the iron is placed in the hot water the
    temperatures stabilize each other, until they are equal.
    The energy moves into the water from into the iron and
    increase its temperature.

    What does this simulation show you about heat and energy?
    Heat and energy can be exchanged between different
    substances. Fire gives energy to the air and what is
    heats. Ice takes heat and energy from other things.
    Heat and energy are also lost to the air.
