Students engage in three short, hands-on, in-class demos which expand students' understand of energy. First, using peanuts and heat, students see how the human body burns food to make energy. Then, they create paper snake mobiles to explore how heat energy can cause motion. Finally, students determine the effect that heat energy from the sun (or a lamp) has on temperature by placing pans of water in different locations. Full Review »

Students discover how animals get their energy from oxidizing their food and releasing some of this energy as heat as well as examine that energy can be transfered from one form to another in living things. Students determine how many calories are contained in different types of food by burning them and measuring the heat energy released. Full Review »

Students brainstorm the differences between heat and temperature. In groups, they determine the best way to melt ice without touching the ice. They record their observations and compare them with other groups. To end the lesson, they review the effect of heat energy changing the state of water. Full Review »
