 * Notes**


 * 16.1 Thermal Energy and Matter**

__Objectives__:

1. Explain how heat and work transfer energy. 2. Relate thermal energy to motion of particles that make up a material. 3. Relate temperature to thermal energy and to thermal expansion. 4. Calculate thermal energy, temperature change, or mass using the specific heat equation. 5. Describe how a calorimeter operates and calculate thermal energy changes or specific heat using calorimetry measurements.


 * 16.2 Heat and Thermodynamics**

__Objectives__:

1. Describe conduction, convection, and radiation and identify which of these is occurring in a given situation. 2. Classify materials as thermal conductors or thermal insulators. 3. Apply the law of conservation energy to conversions between thermal energy and other forms of energy. 4. Apply the second law of thermodynamics in situations where thermal energy moves form cooler to warmer objects. 5. State the third law of thermodynamics.


 * 16.3 Using Heat **

__Objectives__:

1. Describe heat engines and explain how heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical energy. 2. Describe how the different types of heating systems operate. 3. Describe how cooling systems, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, operate. 4. Evaluate benefits and drawbacks of different heating and cooling systems.
