Kinetic Theory will be an overview of "particle theory of matter." Goals will include with an emphasis on calculation (heat transfer and temperature), systems perspective (input/output), and applying kinetic theory principles to interpretation of systems (ie. heat transfer systems) and designing systems for heat transfer (see summative described below).
One summative assessment for this unit will be to design and build a hot air balloon, or a heat machine or a house model which illustrates heat transfer systems. Check back here for specifications on this project.
