In this science worksheet, young scholars look at the information carefully in preparation for a formal assessment. The focus is upon defining different aspects of air masses.

In this temperature worksheet, students answer 8 questions about temperature and thermal energy. For example, "What term refers to an energy transfer that causes a change in temperature?"

Students research separate elements of the theory of Plate Tectonics, then share that information with each other, drawing conclusions from the culminated information.

Students explore solar power. In this solar power lesson plan, students build simple solar cookers after they study convection, conduction, and radiation. Students transfer their knowledge of how the solar cooker works to climate changes...

Young scholars explore how work and energy create power. They complete activities involving simple machines, energy, energy conversion, and the role of conductors and insulators. They choose from a menu of options the activities they...

Students use cardboard and aluminum foil to construct a solar oven that concentrates enough sunlight to cook a hotdog. They review the history and use of solar energy in relation to the Olympics.

Eighth graders examine the development of the different temperature scales. They experiment with hot and cold temperatures.

Students practice placing images on their completed quilts. Using their quilt they made in an earlier lesson, they print off photographs from a printer and use heat to transfer them to the fabric. They share their quilts with the class.

Students work on a virtual earthquake to increase their understanding of seismograms, earthquake epicenters, Richter Magnitude and triangulation when finding the epicenter of an earthquake.

Students identify the five major alternative energy sources. In this physical science lesson, students assess the advantages and disadvantages for each type of energy. They complete a concept map using information they researched.

Students investigate energy-saving window treatments. In this environmental lesson, students research how energy-saving windows work by conducting an experiment using a thermometer and graphing data. Students identify why energy-saving...

Students study sea ice and its importance in climate and climate change. They discuss sea ice as a presence of a food source for marine animals in the arctic and complete a lab activity. After completing the lab, they watch a video...

Eighth graders explore how to read a thermometer. They convert temperature between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Students explain that Celsius is used in the Scientific community and Fahrenheit is used basically only in the United...

Students describe the relationship between temperature and volume. In this chemistry activity, students perform an experiment and record their their results. They use Charles' law to explain their observations.

Students design and draw circuits with batteries, small light bulbs and common household conductors. They build and test the circuit then modify it so someone who couldn't use their hands could turn the circuit on and off.

With illustrated examples, students better understand the three methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.

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.

By the end of this section, you will be able to discuss the method of heat transfer by convection.

A quick, illustrated overview of the three main methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.

In this section of the textbook, learn about the methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Book can be downloaded.

This is a glossary of terms and definitions used in Chapter 14: Heat and Heat Transfer Methods from the AP Physics online text.

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

Students explore heat transfer and energy efficiency using the context of energy efficient houses. They gain a solid understanding of the three types of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction, which are explained in detail...

A discussion from the Oklahoma Climatological Survey of the thermal factors effecting the movement of air masses in the atmosphere. Numerous topics such as methods of heat transfer, latent heat, phase changes (including sublimation and...
