2. Understand and be able to explain the 2nd and 3rd Law of Thermodynamics.
3. Explain the difference between heat and temperature.[6.2]
4. Memorize my definition of temperature and explain the difference between an absolute and relative temperature scale.
5. Explain the Kinetic Molecular Theory and how it applies to temperature and 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.[1.1], [1.3](1.3)
6. Using information from EndoExothermicReactionLab, explain the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reactions including activation energy and the difference between the PER and PEP.[10.3](6.4)
7. Explain the three different modes of heat flowing including examples from your house.

10. To explain the results of the Burning Nuts Lab and the calculations of food buring.
Updated 2006 - (6.5) Recognize that there is a natural tendency for systems to move in a direction of disorder or randomness (entropy)
For 2007
Mass
1. Calculate denisty problems and understand which substance float on another due to density.
2. Understand the difference between the density of the different phases (state) of matter.
