Overview

The course of temperature and properties of one of the initial and compulsory courses for students in the physics program and the study of this course must be passed by the student in order to be allowed to download other courses based on it.The course is also concerned with the study of the thermal expansion of solid and liquid bodies and the anomalous state of water. And the concept of thermal equilibrium, the amount of heat and the methods of heat transfer, as well as the properties of fluids in the state of rest and in the state of motion, as the student learned about the rules of Pascal and Archimedes (buoyancy force) and the phenomena of surface tension and capillary property and that the student gets acquainted with the concept of static equilibrium, elasticity and the basic laws of thermodynamics

Intended learning outcomes

.After passing this course, the student will be able to learn about thermal expansion of solid and liquid bodies, the anomalous state of water, the concept of thermal equilibrium, the amount of heat, methods of heat transfer, as well as the properties of liquids at rest and in motion. The student will also know the rules of Pascal and Archimedes.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures (theoretical explanation and practical part) using blackboard, calligrapher, discussion and homework

Methods of assessments

The grade of the semester work represents 40% of the final total, divided by 20% for the first midterm exam, 20% for the second midterm exam, and the remaining 60% for the final exam..
