year 8 physics

Year 8 Physics is great! You will learn a more about four really important areas of Physics: Heat transfer, Magnetism, Light and Sound.
8j magnets and electromagnets
8k light
8l sound

8i heating and cooling

in this topic you will learn about the different ways that heat energy moves from one place to another and how it is different in solids, liquids and gases. You will find out that heat and temperature are not the same!

Here are the learning objectives for this topic:

I can
  • Use a thermometer
  • Estimate temperatures accurately
  • Draw a graph to show temperature change when a substance changes state

I understand
  • The difference between heat and temperature
  • That heat is measured in Joules and temperature is measured in Celsius, Kelvin or Fahrenheit
  • That things expand when they are heated because the space between the particles gets bigger
  • that materials can be conductors or insulators
  • what happens to particles when a substance changes state
  • How heat energy moves by conduction, convection and radiation
  • Where we use insulation

useful 8i websites
