New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on ‘Latent Heat’ written in line with new AQA Physics specification. Lesson Outline: Starter review the change of state graph to look at why the temperature does not increase at the transition point of state of matter whilst it substance is still heated. To answer this internal energy is first recapped. This highlights the importance of the potential energy of the substance/ position of particles in a substance for different states and also overall internal energy. This leads to the conclusion that the energy is being used to change these particles position and overcome forces of attraction within a substance in order to change state - therefore no temperature increase. Latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporisation are both discussed in detail with the equation and in relation to the graph. Examples of the equation in use show how to carry out calculations to pupils. Lesson concludes with review questions.
