Description

Objectives: To understand how evaporation is linked to thermal energy transfer
To understand how to change the rate of evaporation/condensation
I have found this works best in small groups where students can discuss ideas. The activity should take about 40 minutes and then another 20 minutes for peer assessment.
Activity overview:
Give higher achievers a text book and lower achievers the accompanying text. I usually allow students to answer whichever questions they wish but generally find that they attempt most.

Students have found themselves stranded on a deserted island with no food, shelter, water or fuel. They have discovered that the island’s inhabitants are only too happy to supply them with the essentials, providing that they share their knowledge of science with them.
Each question asked has point values. At the end of the journey students count up how many points they have accumulated to see how well they were able to survive!

Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics). Emphasis is on analyzing data from student investigations and using mathematical thinking to describe the energy changes both quantitatively and conceptually. Examples of investigations could include mixing liquids at different initial temperatures or adding objects at different temperatures to water. Assessment is limited to investigations based on materials and tools provided to students.
