An Old Principle Saves Energy *suitable for home teaching*
From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. In this activity students read a short passage, on the workings of a condensing boiler, then answer questions on latent heat and specific heat capacity. The calculations should improve their comprehension and estimation skills, as well as their communication skills as they have to write a brief account for a sales brochure for a condensing gas boiler. Students may first need to be taught the difference between heat and temperature and the difference in molecular separation in liquids and gases
