Resonance 3 – Energy and Heat

The Resonance 3 learning material covers the third physics module of the Finnish upper secondary school curriculum (Energy and heat). The module examines thermodynamic systems, the transfer of energy between systems and the effects of energy transfer. Key content includes energy production, climate change and construction. The module will enable you to participate in the debate and decision making on environment and technology.
The work is in line with the new Finnish upper secondary school curriculum (LOPS2021).
