Lesson 5 Info

Today, we went over the lab and produced definitions for:
Thermal energy (p.232)
Temperature (p.232)
Volume (p.239)
Expansion (p.239)
Contraction (p.240)
Heat transfer (p.240)
Heat (p.240)
We also talked about how the kinetic molecular theory affects expansion and contraction of matter (ball and loop demo). Expansion/contraction directly produces a volume change and this volume change is the explanation for why a thermometer is capable of measuring temperature (p.235)
