Energy

Each topic is subdivided into a number of episodes.

An episode represents a coherent section of teaching – perhaps one or two lessons.

Each episode contains links to a number of activities.

Kinetic theory

  • Episode 600: Preparation for kinetic theory topic
  • Episode 601: Brownian motion and ideal gases
  • Episode 602: Ideal gases and absolute zero
  • Episode 603: Kinetic model of an ideal gas

Thermal physics

  • Episode 604: Preparation for thermodynamics topic
  • Episode 605: The first law of thermodynamics
  • Episode 606: Heat engines and thermal efficiency
  • Episode 607: Specific heat capacity
  • Episode 608: Latent heat
