Heat Energy Scoring Guide


Physical science - Heat Energy

 

Level

Evaluation Criteria

1

Describes hot and cold as a measure of heat energy.

2

Describes temperature increases and decreases as directly related to the amount of heat energy.

3

Describes heat energy as directly related to the amount of random motion of the particles (atoms,molecules).

4

Describes the transfer of heat energy as a change in the random motion of the particles (atoms, molecules) caused by the touching of objects with different amount of heat energy.

5

Describes the exchange of heat energy as a product of the temperature differences and mass differences of all the objects involved in the exchange.
