Watch the ZOOM cast discover which insulator -- newspaper or aluminum foil -- is better at keeping an ice cube frozen longer. [4:58]

In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, two solar cookers are tested against a control to see which can cook a "s'more" faster. [3:11]

Learn how the Arctic is a part of a global climate system in this video segment adapted from the National Film Board of Canada.

See how a simple tea bag turns into a rocket with the help of heat convection. [1:24]

In the following video Paul Andersen explains how heating is the transfer of energy (heat) from a warmer object to a cooler object. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection and radiation. At the microscopic level conduction...

In the following video Paul Andersen explains how heat is the movement of energy from an object with a higher temperature to an object with lower temperature. Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, and radiation. [4:10]

An interactive lesson illustrating the three methods of heat transfer: convection, conduction, and radiation. See short animations, and read about examples of each method.

See how scientists study mantle convection, or the flow of hot rock in the Earth's deep interior, in order to better understand how this flow shapes the surface of the Earth. Learn how convection makes the Earth dynamic. [7:10]

Paul Andersen explains how energy is conserved within a system. In both macroscopic and microscopic collisions, the amount of energy before the collision is equal to the amount after. He then defines heat as energy transfer between...

See how energy transfer is used when making candy. [5:05]

Paul Andersen explains how organisms are able to regulate their internal body temperature (or not). He starts with a brief description conduction, convection, radiation and metabolism. He contrasts ectotherms and endotherms. He also...
