Physics Narrative 11-14

The energy in the thermal store is not the same as the temperature of an object. But the temperature of an object can...

Physics Narrative

Pupils often have difficulties recognising the difference between temperature and energy. Temperature is an intensive quantity...

Teaching Guidance 11-14

Students investigate how temperature changes with distance from a heat source and relate this to planetary temperatures.
