In developing the Heat
vs. Temperature lesson, I had to locate and evaluate technology
resources that would help the students develop the concepts of heat and
temperature. I had to consider the accuracy of the content, the reading
level of my students, and the appropriateness of the resources to the
developmental levels of my students. Segments from the Eureka! series were
selected because they accurately explain the concepts of heat and
temperature in terms that the students can understand. This series uses
animation and is very engaging for students. The use of CBLs and graphing
calculators supports the hands-on portion of the lesson and helps students
to gather and analyze data. The website Sprocket Works allows the students
to manipulate the variables, heat and pressure, while providing a visual
representation of the movement of molecules.
