Demo Lesson

This lesson focuses on the concept of heat capacity, a fundamental property of matter that describes how much heat is required to change the temperature of an object.

In this lesson, students will explore the three temperature scales—Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin—and understand their differences and applications. They will also learn about heat capacity and specific heat capacity by engaging in the Measuring Specific Heat activity for this lesson. Student understanding of heat capacity is crucial for grasping how different materials respond to thermal energy, which has significant applications in various scientific and engineering contexts.
