• HEAT-07-308.04: explain changes of state using the particle model of matter (Resources)
• HEAT-07-308.05: compare transmission of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation (Resources)
• HEAT-07-308.06: describe how various surfaces absorb to radiant heat (Resources)
• HEAT-07-308.07: explain, using the particle model of matter, differences among heat capacities of some common materials (Resources)
• HEAT-07-113.04: analyze the design of a technology and the way it functions on the basis of its impact on their daily lives (e.g., describe how central heating or air-conditioning systems have affected their lives) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-113.10: provide examples of problems that arise at home, in an industrial setting, or in the environment that cannot be solved using scientific and technological knowledge (e.g., provide examples such as the unintended heat loss from electrical and mechanical devices, including motors, electrical generators, and refrigerators) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-110.07: provide examples of technologies used in the past to meet human needs (e.g., provide examples such as wood stoves, heated bricks and rocks, root cellars, woolen garments, ice-boxes, and ironing blocks) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-109.04: provide examples of how technologies used in the past were developed through trial and error (e.g., provide examples, such as the choice of insulating materials, the use of air space in homes and clothing, or the development of bridge- building techniques, that take into consideration changes in temperature) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-111.05: describe the science and underlying particular technologies designed to explore natural phenomena, extend human capabilities, or solve practical problems (e.g., explain how a thermos, a thermometer, or a thermocouple functions; compare wind-chill and humidex scales to indicate perceived temperatures) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-112.01: describe how an individual"s needs can lead to developments in science and technology (e.g., describe how the need for protective clothing led to the development of oven mitts, survival suits, and ski suits, or how the need for home comfort led to the development of air conditioning, central heating, and insulated walls, doors, and windows) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-112.09: identify science- and technology-based careers in their community (e.g., identify examples such as window builders, heating systems and equipment contractors, and boiler engineers) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-210.02: compile and display data, by hand or computer, in a variety of formats, including diagrams, flow charts, tables, bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots (e.g., plot a graph showing the decrease in temperature of various liquids from identical initial temperatures) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-210.11: state a conclusion, based on experimental data, and explain how evidence gathered supports or refutes an initial idea (e.g., explain how the evidence of convection currents in fluids supports the particle model of matter) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-210.12: identify and evaluate potential applications of findings (e.g., identify examples such as the application of heat transfer principles to the design of homes and protective clothing) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-210.13: test the design of a constructed device or system (e.g., test a personally constructed solar barbecue or cooling device) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-208.04: propose alternative solutions to a given practical problem, select one, and develop a plan (e.g., design and construct a cooling device) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-208.08: select appropriate methods and tools for collecting data and information and for solving problems (e.g., use black or reflective materials to study heat absorption; observe convection currents in liquids using a glass loop, or in gases using a box and chimney apparatus) (Resources)
• HEAT-07-209.03: use instruments effectively and accurately for collecting data (e.g., use proper techniques in reading the scale of a thermometer; place beads of wax at an equal distance from the centre of a conduction device) (Resources)
