/Temperature, energy, heat and work Introduction Text to come. Relevant Dot Points from the Study Design investigate and apply theoretically and practically the First Law of Thermodynamics to simple situations: Q = U + W explain internal energy as the energy associated with random disordered motion of molecules distinguish between conduction, convection and radiation with reference to heat transfers within and between systems investigate and analyse theoretically and practically the energy required to raise the temperature of a substance: Q = mcΔT change the state of a substance: Q = mL explain why cooling results from evaporation using a simple kinetic energy model
