Transcript Physics for You - Haiku Learning

Plenary
This PowerPoint file contains the Plenary for this chapter in
Physics For You.
Most of these slides are paired with a corresponding slide in the
PowerPoint of the Learning Objectives for this chapter.
Only a limited amount of colour has been used on these slides,
but of course you can customise them in any way you wish.
As well as using the relevant slide to test your students and to
evaluate how well they have understood each section of work,
you may also find the slides useful for a quick revision course.
Chapter 6 - Thermometers
Chapter 6 : Thermometers
1. Explain why mercury and alcohol are good
liquids to use in thermometers.
2. What is the Kelvin scale?
3. How do we measure the surface temperature
of a distant star?
This is an opportunity to research a really good answer!
Answers
Chapter 6 : Thermometers
1. Explain why mercury and alcohol are good
liquids to use in thermometers.
They expand evenly when their temperature rises
2. What is the Kelvin scale?
A temperature scale based on
the kinetic energy of molecules
3. How do we measure the surface temperature
of a distant star?
This is an opportunity to research a really good answer!
