Part B: Project
Investigate heat transfer and sound in daily life.
Project Title: Heat and Sound Observations
Objective: Demonstrate heat transfer and describe sound properties.
Project Instructions:
- 1. Identify examples of conduction, convection, and radiation.
- 2. Explain a change of state you observe (melting/boiling).
- 3. Describe how sound is produced using a simple example.
- 4. List two applications of sound in daily life.
- 5. Consult your coach where necessary.
Evidence to Submit:
- • Heat transfer examples.
- • Change of state notes.
- • Sound production and applications.
Submission
Part C: Training Others
Teach a peer about heat and sound.
Guidance:
- • Explain one heat transfer method.
- • Discuss specific heat capacity with an example.
- • Demonstrate sound production using an object.
Reflection:
- • What did the learner understand well?
- • What needed more explanation?
- • What support do you need from your coach?
Submission
