Thermodynamics Unit Menu

(25 points)

You will be able to demonstrate your understanding of the unit material through activities of your
choice. Pick anything you want to eat from the menu: appetizer and entree, and complete a dessert
for extra credit! I recommend eating a well-rounded diet, but the choice is yours. You want to
consume a total of ​25 points (Calories)​ for this assignment. You may get up to 5 Calories extra
credit for any extra points consumed. You must complete your meal no later than this coming Friday
before our unit test next week. Have fun!

Appetizer (5 Calories each) 3 choices

1. Create a ​Word Ladder​ using a 7-letter or greater vocabulary word from the unit (refer to
your Webercise Assignment for some ideas if needed). Identify and place relevant words or
concepts from the unit. Must be done digitally, and include at least 3 relevant images and/or
designs to enhance the product.
a. Ex:
Lo​W​er density solid
Pol​A​r molecule
Universal solven​T
Surfac​E​ tension
Hyd​R​ogen bonds

2. Create a ​Venn Diagram​ using ​https://www.canva.com/graphs/venn-diagrams/​ (create a free

account with your school email). Pick any two
thermodynamics concepts to compare and contrast. You
can include definitions, examples, visuals, etc. Utilize
color to emphasize organization and clearly organization
everything. Include ​at least 3 bullet points​ in each section
of the Venn Diagram.

3. Create a labeled ​Drawing/Graphic Organizer​ that summarizes an important topic of choice

within the vocabulary list from the ​Webercise​ assignment from last week. The product must
include ​at least 4 labels ​and the drawing must be accurately made to receive full credit.

Entree (15 Calories each) 2 choices

1. Create a ​Prezi​ using ​https://prezi.com/signup/basic/​ (create a free account with your school
email) or ​Google Slides​ ​regarding a real-life example problem of thermodynamics in action.
You can work on this in pairs and both people will get the same amount of calories for the
assignment. Include the following for full credit:
a. MUST be original
b. Image representing the phenomena being represented
 c. A problem with enough data to solve for an unknown variable with the assumption
that heat will be transferred to reach equilibrium.
d. Include a slide that shows all calculations being performed

2. Create and perform a ​song​ that includes most if not all the topics covered in this unit so far
that accurately connects all the concepts together. You must provide a ​written transcript​ and
an ​audio or video copy​ of the song to receive full credit.
a. You may work in pairs, but the transcript should include a 100 word description of the
contribution of each partner in the song and the recording should include both voices.

Dessert (10 Calories each) 2 choices

1. Create a ​cartoon/comic strip​ with proper narration and/or dialogue to depict a scenario that
represents a thermodynamics concept in everyday, human analogy form. (ex. Kids peeing in
a kiddie pool feels warm because the pee heats up the water, causing the heat to transfer to
whoever comes into the pool, feeling warm to the touch.) May be done by hand or online.

2. Create a ​short story​ (science fiction) set in a world that goes against the concept of
thermodynamics, explaining why it’s different from how it’s supposed to be in real life. Must
be typed and at least be one page in length.
