Conductors and Insulators - Presentation
This presentation explains thermo equilibrium, how heat moves, and how some materials are chosen depending on how well they transfer heat. Students learn to look at the thermal properties (conductors and insulators) of materials around them, and why designers choose one material over another for a given task.
Learning goals
- We are learning that heat energy can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another.
- We are learning that heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another.
- We are learning to examine design and technologies that impact the design of products, services and environments to meet community needs.
- We are learning to recognise the role of people in design and technologies occupations and explore how sustainability impacts product, service and environment design to meet community needs.
- We are learning to describe how forces and the properties of materials affect function in a product or system.
- We are learning to investigate how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour of a product or system.
- We are learning to explore needs or opportunities for designing and test materials, components, tools, equipment and processes needed to create designed solutions.
- We are learning to investigate the suitability of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment for a range of purposes.
