Teaching Advanced Physics: Energy
From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of learning episodes. An episode represents a coherent section of teaching that lasts for typically one or two lessons.
The topics covered in this collection are:
* Kinetic theory
* Brownian motion
* Ideal gases
* Gas laws and absolute zero
* Thermal physics
* First law of thermodynamics
* Specific heat capacity
* Heat engines and thermal efficiency
* Latent heat

Episode 604: Preparation for Thermodynamics Topic
Following on from the kinetic theory of gases, this topic from the Institute of Physics, examine the same phenomena in macroscopic terms (energy supplied to materials) and microscopic terms (how the particles are behaving).
The learning episodes include:
...
Episode 605: The First Law of Thermodynamics
Produced by the Institute of Physics, this learning episode includes discussions, demonstrations and questions which introduce students to thermodynamics. These include compressing and expanding gases, adiabatic and isothermal changes.
...Episode 606: Heat Engines and Thermal Efficiency
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students look at heat engines to find out about their efficiency and this leads into a discussion of the second law of thermodynamics.
The activities include:...
Episode 607: Specific Heat Capacity
This learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, guide students to measure specific heat capacities experimentally and then see how energy must be supplied (or rejected) to increase (or decrease) the temperature of a material. Calculations are used to quantify the...
