PBL Playing with Thermodynamics


在這個單元,你要處理基本 熱力學(研究热,功和机械能之间的关系)的模擬實驗。在你開始作答問題前,玩玩看每個模擬實驗,熟悉每個模擬實驗的操作,並利用這些模擬來回答問題。熟悉中文和英文版本。 這將幫助您學習與物理學有關的英語詞彙。

In this activity, you will perform virtual experiments with a public domain physics simulations dealing with Thermodynamics (The study of the relationships between heat, work, and mechanical energy.) Before you start answering the questions, play with each simulation to get familiar with each of available buttons. Familiarize yourself with both Chinese and English versions. This will help you to learn English vocabulary related to physics.
