With the Junior Cert Science exam just around the corner this resource will come too late for most, but for what it’s worth I am highlighting it here anyway. With over 45 experiments needing to be written up for Coursework A the sheer volume can be quite intimidating, particularly for those of us who [...]
Teaching Heat in Junior Cert Science
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: February 5, 2009
There are a large amount of experiments in this chapter: Expansion and contraction of solids. Expansion and contraction of liquids. Expansion and contraction of gases. Water is a bad conductor. Expansion of water on freezing. Comparison of conduction in various metals. Convection in liquids. Convection in gas. Compare radiation in bright and dark surfaces. Plotting [...]
