Physics lessons on thermodynamics involve explaining heat, work, and internal energy through demonstration and experimentation with ideal gases and calorimetry. Inquiry-based learning encourages students to hypothesize and test laws such as the first law of thermodynamics. Formative feedback sharpens cognitive and metacognitive skills. Remedial sessions focus on separating common confusions between heat and temperature and clarifying the interpretation of state functions. Assertion (A): Inquiry-based experiments improve understanding of thermodynamic principles. Reason (R): Formative assessment and remedial teaching facilitate tackling misconceptions in thermal concepts.
