Finally they apply this learning to the real-world situation of tram travel, and explore why sand is used on tram tracks ...
In this learning sequence, students explore a simple particle model for matter, heat energy and thermal expansion. They apply their learning to the context of expansion and contraction of rail lines and investigate ways that this is mitigated in real situations involving rail lines. They subsequently explain this to young ...
