Using Geothermal Energy

Students will design a system to deliver hot water 
at a defined temperature.


Summary

Strand/Standard Physics 2.2:  Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of
thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in
a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system. Emphasize that uniform distribution
of energy is a natural tendency. Examples could include the measurement of the reduction of temperature of a
hot object or the increase in temperature of a cold object. (PS3.B)
