Learning About Our Five Senses
Students study the sense of touch and various degrees of heat. They design a model that displays how the human hand reacts to heat using a touch sensor.

Extreme Heat
Students, in groups, investigage and demonstrate the science behind the development and characteristics of extreme heat.

Learning Lesson: Crunch Time
Students demonstrate the effect of heat on pressure. They use a 2-liter bottle and hot tap water to complete the experiments. They also discuss thunderstorm safety rules.
Curated OER
Too Hot to Handle
Students identify sources of geothermal energy. They watch videos and investigate the sources of geothermal energy.

Cooler in the Shadows
Students explore how the amount of sunlight and heat change in areas that are shaded.
Curated OER
Heating
Students develop the idea that heat is a form of energy which moves from hot objects to cold ones.

Investigation 7 - Rubbing Objects Together
Third graders investigate rubbing two objects together to produce heat.

Let There Be Light
Students observe that different lights have different effects on matter. Students see that ultraviolet light is powerful although it cannot be seen through this teacher led demo-experiment.
