| The law of transformation and conservation of energy is the basic law of nature, oneof which is the internal energy. The knowledge which is related to the internal energy inSenior High School includes its basic concept, Law and experiments, especially, the firstand second law of thermodynamics and relative experiments.Based on the thermodynamics, the first law of thermodynamics describes the law oftransformation and conservation of energy. The second law of thermodynamics representsthough the amount of energy won’t decrease, its quality will be reduced gradually and itsavailability will be lower and lower during the transformation. Consequently, we shouldsave energy, which is beneficial to developing students’ awareness of energy crisis. It’scrucial to improve students’ awareness of protecting environment.The content of the thesis includes the following five main aspects.(1) The analysis and research of some knowledge which is related to the internalenergy.(2) The teaching and learning of internal energy from the point of the new curriculumof senior middle school.(3) The analysis and research of the teaching and learning of internal energy.(4) An investigation on the teaching and learning of the energy related knowledgewas made in several different level schools in Wuxi area, including analysis of the status ofteaching and learning in the teaching process and the main problems, especially thecognitive impairment and learning difficulties.(5) An analysis on the results of the research and guidance on teaching strategy andlearning method of internal energy was given.Hoping that the research may provide avaluable way and view point for high schoolteachers and students in Wuxi area while teaching and learning the internal energy relatedknowledge. |
