Some reactions absorb heat while others release it. Young scholars investigate both types of reactions in a 12-lesson unit. Each lesson presents a lab investigation that monitors temperature and considers the types of reactions taking...

Take a "conservative" approach to planning your next unit on mass and matter! What better way to answer "But where did the gas go?" than with a lab designed to promote good report writing, research skills, and detailed observation....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What thermal energy is and how it relates to temperature and mass.

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...

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...

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

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

By the end of this section, you will be able to express the ideal gas law in terms of molecular mass and velocity; define thermal energy; calculate the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, given its temperature; describe the relationship...

Eight different types of energy that can convert into thermal energy are described. A movement activity and an experiment are included in this overview of thermal energy.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Using the law of conservation of energy as a starting off point, students use the specific heat equation to perform calculations that relate mass, specific heat,...

A student learning module with a focus on the relationship of temperature and salinity with density, ocean-influenced weather patterns, and how light and sound move through ocean water.

John and Jessi are going underwater, and they need to stay warm. Help them learn about conductors of heat so they can stay warm.

How can two objects have the same temperature but feel like they have different temperatures? Veritasium explores this phenomenon. [4:00]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of heat and how thermal energy is transferred.

What causes the circulation of ocean waters that are too deep to be affected by wind? Find out how salinity and temperature drive the deep sea currents. This resource has several videos and an online quiz.

David is exploring the Titanic shipwreck. He needs to stay warm down below in the water. Help him learn about heat and temperature.

[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...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of specific heat, learn how it is calculated, and find out how different materials have different specific heat values.

A module reviewing over how vaporization occurs and its difference from evaporation. Also, review over the definition of boiling point. Module includes a video, pictures, explanation, and review questions.
