Heat things up in your physical science class with this interactive lesson series on thermodynamics. Through a series of class demonstrations and experiments, young scientists learn how heat is transferred through conduction,...

Young engineers are instructed to design and build their own solar water heaters. Then, they calculate the efficiency and cost and compare them to commercially available models. This is a full unit for pupils to apply their knowledge.

Explore greenhouse effect and climate change through a 15-day unit. Scholars learn about these STEM concepts by researching, conducting surveys, experimenting, and collaborating with experts in the field. They frequently communicate...

Hot off the presses, this collection of thermal energy activities, lessons, and printables is sure to amaze. Demonstrate how thermal energy moves about in a system using simple materials. Pupils demonstrate their understanding...

That's Amazing! is the theme of an English language development unit created by Houghton Mifflin. Following a speak, look, move, and listen routine, scholars delve into topics; seasons, weather, animals, landforms, telling...

Only 10 percent of an incandescent bulb's energy is used to create light; the remaining 90 percent is heat. In the unit of activities, young chemists examine energy through hands-on activities, videos, discussions, and...

What's cooking? A sizzling STEM unit challenges scholars to build a solar cooker that can successfully cook an egg. The unit opens with a study of Earth's rotation, the sun's energy, and shadows. Pupils use a compass and thermometer to...

Do some good for the community while learning about engineering. Groups complete a service-based engineering design project over the course of five weeks. The resource provides guidance on how to conduct the project and help pupils get...

Students probe the dynamic weather changes through several hands-0n activities in this seven lessons unit. The hydrologic cycle, clouds, atmosphere, air movement, fronts, and forecasting form the components presented in this unit.

Students complete a unit of lessons on our solar system, its stars, and astronomers. They record information in a space journal, design constellations, define key vocabulary, observe the phases of the moon, and create a group planet...

Students calculate the resistance across a bank of resistors in a series, parallel and combined circuit. Using new vocabulary words, they define and describe them in a scientific manner. After stating Ohm's Law, they solve electrical...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Investigates what conduction is, how it works, and gives examples of conduction.

By the end of this section, you will be able to calculate thermal conductivity, observe conduction of heat in collisions, and study thermal conductivities of common substances.

Provided here is an extremely useful learning module that helps students explore three major methods of heat transfer. It also provides them with practice identifying each one.

This resource provides alternative or additional tier-one learning options to help students understand the concept of specific heat capacity.

Given illustrations, scenarios, descriptions, and/or diagrams, students will demonstrate understanding of heat transfer.

This lesson will describe how heat can be transferred by conduction. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Transfer of Heat - Conduction."

Students explore the relationship between heat and energy transfer, and then describe how energy is transported through the processes of conduction, convection, and radiation. [Free Registration/Login may be required to access all...

With the help of simple, teacher-led demonstration activities, students learn the basic concepts of heat transfer by means of conduction, convection, and radiation. Students then apply these concepts as they work in teams to solve two...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the relationship between heat and energy transfer, and learn about the three ways that heat can be transferred between objects of different...

By the end of this section, you will be able to discuss the different methods of heat transfer: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.

A video and a short quiz on heat, covering its difference from temperature, thermal energy, and the means by which heat is transferred.

Energy is transmitted by conduction, convection or radiation.The conductivity of materials can be compared by examining the time taken to transmit energy through them. This lesson explains how conduction works and provides a link to a test.

This page provides a summary of each section of Chapter 14: Heat and Heat Transfer Methods from the AP Physics online text.
