Content description
Energy transfer through different mediums can be explained using wave and particle models
Elaborations
- exploring how and why the movement of energy varies according to the medium through which it is transferred
- discussing the wave and particle models and how they are useful for understanding aspects of phenomena
- investigating the transfer of heat in terms of convection, conduction and radiation, and identifying situations in which each occurs
- understanding the processes underlying convection and conduction in terms of the particle model
- investigating factors that affect the transfer of energy through an electric circuit
- exploring the properties of waves, and situations where energy is transferred in the form of waves, such as sound and light
