There's quite a bit in this physical science packet. First, how is heat transferred? Learners read a brief explanation of conduction, convection, and radiation before identifying common occurrences (with pictures) as one of the three....

Middle school energy experts read about the relationship between energy use and cost-efficiency. Then they work through a couple of scenarios to determine which approach is more cost-effective.

The presentation covers Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales for temperature as well as conduction, convection, and radiation.

Learn about radiation, convection, and conduction with a multiple choice instructional activity. Each question prompts kids to decide what is different about each form of heat energy transfer, and what is the same.

Explore how heating and cooling iron, brick, and water adds or removes energy. See how energy is transferred between objects. Build your own system, with energy sources, changers, and users. Track and visualize how energy flows and...

Based on experimental observations, students describe, on the molecular level, why the liquid in a thermometer goes up when it is heated and down when it is cooled.

Students observe, on a molecular level, how heating and cooling affect molecular motion.

Students observe and describe, on the molecular level, how heating and cooling affect the motion of molecules in a solid.
