Calorimetry - Sensible Heat and Latent Heat

WATCH THE FULL ACTIVITY VIDEO

⚠️ This material is an adapted activity with questions (it is not a complete theoretical workbook on the topic).

Number of questions in the activity:
5 adapted activities + complete answer key, involving identification of sensible heat and latent heat, analysis of temperature change, change of physical state, interpretation of situations, and classification of thermal phenomena.

Target Audience:
Students in Middle School, High School, Youth and Adult Education (EJA), and Specialized Educational Support (AEE).
Especially recommended for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), ASD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and difficulties in understanding abstract Physics concepts.

Format:
Color printable PDF with strong visual support (thermometer, melting ice, boiling water), uppercase language, objective activities (marking, completing, and identifying), and answer key included.

Important for the teacher:
This material was developed as a practical activity with questions and can be used as:
✔ content introduction
✔ learning reinforcement
✔ adapted assessment

Key Features:

✅ Teaches sensible heat and latent heat in a clear and comparative way.
✅ Presents the difference between temperature change and change of physical state directly.
✅ Uses a thermometer for concrete visualization of temperature variation.
✅ Explores real-life situations (melting ice and boiling water).
✅ Includes identification, classification, and interpretation activities (S and L).
✅ Incorporates analysis of a scientific situation (water at 100°C in boiling).
✅ Progressive teaching sequence: understand → identify → classify → apply.
✅ Uses uppercase language, supporting reading and accessibility.
✅ Reduces abstraction in Physics through consistent visual support.
✅ Can be used in regular classrooms, AEE, or individual support.
✅ Ready-to-use adapted assessment.
✅ Saves 4h38min of teacher planning time.
