The purpose of the Introduction is to actively engage students and revisit prior concepts, utilizing problem situations that spark critical thinking and application of knowledge. Additionally, this contextualization links the topic to real-life scenarios that students encounter, making the learning of heat and temperature more relatable and motivating. This initial phase aims to build the foundation for a deeper and more practical understanding of the concepts, fostering curiosity and interest among students.

Situasi Berbasis Masalah

1. Imagine you are at the beach on a sweltering day, but the strong breeze makes it feel cooler than what the thermometer indicates. Why does this happen?

2. In a local café, you order both a coffee and a cappuccino, served at 70°C. Why does the cappuccino feel hotter even though both are the same temperature?

Kontekstualisasi

Heat and temperature are concepts we encounter in our daily lives, but grasping their differences can be a bit tricky. For instance, during summer, a can of cold drink left in the sun heats up on the outside, while the inside remains chilled — the thermal sensation when you touch the can can be quite different from its actual temperature. This gap between perceived and measured temperature makes exploring these concepts interesting and relevant to our understanding of our environment.

Pengembangan

Durasi: (75 - 80 minutes)

The Development stage allows students to leverage and deepen their existing knowledge of heat and temperature through practical and playful experiences. Working in teams, students have the chance to experiment and observe thermal phenomena in real-life situations, enriching their understanding of these concepts while encouraging collective effort and critical thinking. Each activity is crafted to explore a unique aspect of the topic, from heat transfer to thermal perception, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging approach to the subject.
