Introduction
Text to come.

Relevant Dot Points from the Study Design

 * investigate and apply theoretically and practically the First Law of Thermodynamics to simple situations: Q = U + W
 * explain internal energy as the energy associated with random disordered motion of molecules
 * distinguish between conduction, convection and radiation with reference to heat transfers within and between systems
 * investigate and analyse theoretically and practically the energy required to
 * raise the temperature of a substance: Q = mcΔT
 * change the state of a substance: Q = mL
 * explain why cooling results from evaporation using a simple kinetic energy model
