What? Me worry?

Test Tuesday!

Thermal Energy & States of Matter
by Mr. Carrison - Gates Intermediate School

Test Tuesday!

OK Ms. Roy.... here it is per your request!

Test will be Tuesday, be READY!

1. I would look over all the handouts and vocab sheets. Vocab sheets should show you what I think are the key words??? Wonder if the crossword puzzle would make a good study guide? Hum... is going to the DOE's web site worth the effort?

2. Why not use the Massachusetts Department of Education's (DOE) web site to study? Use the MCAS question search page to look for questions that have to do with heat, convection, conduction, radiation, states of matter and so on. There is a KEYWORD box at the bottom of the page. Check out:

http://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/search/default.asp?YearCode=%25&GradeID=8&QuestionTypeCode=%25&FormSubmitted=yes&SubjectCode=sci&Strand=74&Standard=207&KeywordVal=&AllowCalculator=&ReportingCategoryCode=&ShowReportingCategory=&originalpage=1&page=1&answers=&intro=no&advanced_search=yesb You might change the STRAND to STATES OF MATTER or FORMS OF ENERGY

3. While the above site is a bit cumbersome it is a great source for good questions. Note that you can turn answers ON or OFF. If you were a teacher…. Would you use any of these questions??? Hum……

4. What are some renewable methods that we can generate electricity? List 5 ways that were shown in the mega exciting film we watched in class.

The following are questions form our textbook’s test generator program. Do not forget to use the review section at the end of each chapter.

Modified True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true.

26. A student lists three temperature measurements: 100°F, 100°C, and 100 K. Of the three measurements, 100 K is the highest temperature. _________________________

27. The more particles a substance has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has. _________________________

28. During conduction heat is transferred by the movement of currents within a fluid. _________________________
