Lesson Aiming for 4 Aiming for 6 Aiming for 8 P2.3 Radiation and the greenhouse effect I can state that infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than red light. I can compare the emission of infrared radiation with a wavelength shorter than red light. I can describe factors that affect the rate of emission of infrared radiation, including temperature and surface area. I can state that an object cools by emitting infrared radiation and heats by absorbing infrared radiation. I can outline the evidence that changes in the concentration of atmospheric gases are the likely cause of global warming. I can apply the concepts of absorption and emission of infrared radiation to explain why an object maintains a constant temperature. I can describe the greenhouse effect in simple terms. I can describe the greenhouse effect in terms of absorption and emission of radiation. I can fully explain the greenhouse effect in terms of absorption, emission, and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. P2.4 Specific heat capacity I can describe materials in terms of being difficult or easy to heat up (increase the temperature of). I can describe the effects of changing the factors involved in the equation. I can evaluate materials used for transferring energy in terms of their specific heat capacity. I can state the factors that affect the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of an object. I can calculate the energy required to change the temperature of an object. I can use the specific heat capacity equation to perform a wide range of calculations in unfamiliar contexts. I can, with some support, measure the specific heat capacity of a material. I can measure the specific heat capacity of a material and find a mean value. I can evaluate in detail the results of an experiment to measure specific heat capacity. P2.5 Heating and insulating buildings I can state some design features used to prevent energy transfer to the surroundings in the home. I can describe how some design features used to reduce energy dissipation from a home work. I can evaluate in detail design features used to reduce energy loss from the home. I can calculate the payback time of a simple home improvement feature. I can compare home improvement features in terms of payback time. I can decide on home improvement features using payback time and savings beyond the payback time.
