Animations and mathematical equations are used to help explain concepts.
Important vocabulary words are defined on the screen.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should already have an understanding of work and heat.
The video covers a lot of information very quickly. Teachers will need to pause the video periodically and replay portions to aid in student understanding.
Differentiation
This video provides a way for students to see how advanced mathematical concepts like integral calculus are used in real-world applications.
Challenge students to identify ways the first and second laws of thermodynamics are related to climate change.
Consider pairing this resource with this video about heat pumps which connects the laws of thermodynamics to a potential climate change solution.
