Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Heating transfers energy into a substance and can cause it to melt, evaporate or boil.
- Melting, evaporation and boiling are endothermic.
- As it cools, a substance transfers energy into the surroundings by heating and it may condense or freeze.
- Condensing and freezing are exothermic.
Common misconception
Energy can appear and disappear.
Remind students about the conservation of energy.
Keywords
Endothermic - When a substance transfers energy in from the surroundings, e.g. melting, boiling and evaporating.
Exothermic - When a substance transfers energy out to the surroundings by heating, e.g. condensing and freezing.
