Heat and Temperature

This module covers the topics heat and temperature at a level appropriate to the ending years of secondary school. It is mainly aimed at teachers, but students should be able to follow most of it. Commonly observed effects of heat and transfer of heat are covered at the beginning. We then look into the equivalence of heat and work, and as a natural extension, look into pressure and expansion in the context of gases. We next come to the question of what causes heat and what is meant by temperature and arrive at the kinetic theory of heat and temperature. After this the applicability of the theory is discussed in the context of gases. Finally, we briefly look at a few heat-based devices that have had a significant impact on our lives. The emphasis is on activity-based learning wherever possible. However, it has to be appreciated that physics requires a certain degree of abstraction based on observation, which then leads to building models to explain natural phenomena. This module accepts that approach, and an attempt is made to lead the reader from inferences drawn from classroom based activities to the modern theory of heat based on particulate nature..............
This module attempts to take
qualitative ideas regarding heat and move towards the kinetic theory, while
maintaining the level of abstraction accessible to high school students.
