Topics
- Friction
- Thermodynamics
- Heat
Description
Learn how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. What happens on an atomic level when you rub two objects together?
Sample Learning Goals
- Describe a model for friction a molecular level.
- Describe matter in terms of molecular motion. The description should include: diagrams to support the description, how the temperature affects the image, what are the differences and similarities between solid, liquid and gas particle motion; how the size and speed of gas molecules relate to everyday objects.
