Repairing Student Misconceptions in Heat Transfer Using Inquiry-Based Activities
Type: Empirical
Data collection method: Test
Number of subjects, range: Medium — 11-30
Grade and age of subjects: Adult — over 18 years
- The rate of heat transfer always increases the amount of heat transferred as well.
- Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold things feel.
- The rate of heat transfer, frequently affects how hot or cold something feels.
- Temperature is a direct measure of the energy in an object, so something at a higher temperature always has more energy.
- The effect of surface properties such as color on the rate of radiative heat transfer, for example believing that black surfaces hold onto energy and therefore emit radiation more slowly than white surfaces.
