I am a third year physics student and have been given an assignment as part of my statistical physics call to discuss how I would explain entropy to a class of senior high school students in order to show my understanding it. This is what I have come up with and would appreciate any feed back and especially highlighting anything I got wrong.
Entropy
First
I would define Entropy in the most succinct way “Energy depends to
disperse”. So everything from a candle being lit that disperses
heat energy out from the flame, to a rock being dropped into a pool
of water and the energy going out in the form of the ripples and
splashes.
