In this English worksheet, students read "The Year 2007 to be the Hottest Ever," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students explore the microstructure of the ocean by analyzing graphs created by Dr. Mike Gregg of the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory during the EPIC 2001 research cruise on the Ronald H. Brown NOAA vessel.

Young scholars assess the ocean's microstructure by analyzing graphs created during tne Ronald H.Brown research cruise. they discuss at what depths various sea animals live and write paragraphs on data analysis from the graphs.

Students prepare Shoenbein Paper to test the ground level of ozone. They dip a strip of their test paper in distilled water and hang it at a data collection site. They determine the relative humidity of the data collection site. Using a...

In this El Nino worksheet, students review this specific change in the climate cycle by completing 20 short answer questions.

Fourth graders research an ecosystem and its endangered species. They create a PowerPoint Presentation, oral report, poster or a booklet based on their research. They research on the internet and in biology texts in teams of 4.

Young scholars test the adhesive quality of commercial caulk to determine the differences in materials that are seemingly similar.

Students explore the motion of a toy bungee jumper using the scientific method. They view a video of a bungee jumper and discuss what can be measured about a bungee jump. Students discuss the scientific mehtod and how to design an...

Students identify and define evaporation, condensation, precipitation and also, how these interact to complete the water cycle. They identify that water moves in a contimuous cycle, which is powered by the sun. Finally, students name...

In this energy and power science fair project, the student will calculate the heat energy produced by an active compost pile, surrounding a tin can filled with water. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning...

A tutorial that explores the concepts of heat and temperature, the transfer of energy between substances, the relationship of temperature and the movement of atom, and thermal radiation. The tutorial includes animations, interactive...

Learn how to differentiate between heat and temperature.

With this learning module, students will understand the difference between heat and temperature, convert temperatures among different temperature scales, and calculate specific heat.

As part of a larger resource called "Getting started in Chemistry," this page examines various topics related to energy. The types of energy discussed include kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Do you know why the metal in the oven burns your skin but the air in the oven doesn't? This simulation will show you the relationship between heat energy and temperature.

An explanation of using heat capacity to calculate heat.

Learn how heat energy can be produced by mechanical and electrical machines.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online lesson students will be introduced to conditions required for an ideal gas. They will also learn about the similarities and differences between...

This site from the University Corporation of Atmospheric Research provides a lengthy page covering numerous topics including the difference between heat and temperature, the use of different temperature scales, thermal expansion, how a...

A page describing (in part) the distinction between energy, temperature and heat. Includes a graphic illustrating the quantity of energy needed to transform water between various states. Methods of thermal energy transfer (convection,...

In this section of the textbook, find information about how heat and work transfer energy. Also understand how a heat transfer is related to temperature and what mechanical equivalent of heat relates to work and heat transfer. Book can...

From the Physics 2000 site, this page exemplifies their usual superb discussion of the concepts of heat, temperature, and absolute zero. Using an entertaining series of cartoon characters, the page gives a very understandable discussion...

In this interactive activity adapted from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, students will learn how heat can be transferred in one of three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.

Learn that temperature measures average kinetic energy, and heat is the transfer of energy from hot systems to cold systems. Consider what makes a good conductor. (Requires Java)
