Students explore heat transfer.  In this temperature and molecule behavior activity, students view a PowerPoint while simultaneously performing experiments in which heat transfer is demonstrated.  Students use cold beakers, ice...

Students investigate how much energy is stored in lake water as latent heat, calculate how much latent heat is exchanged with the atmosphere, and consider the effects of heat gain and heat loss on the surrounding environment.

Students discuss what heat is and how it travels. They discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

Students describe and compare the layers of the atmosphere. They explain how to measure the temperature of the atmosphere and discover what causes the atmosphere to heat up in some places more than in others.

Students explore liquids and solids by conducting in class experiments. In this matter lesson, students define the properties of matter and how heat can change those properties. Students experiment with heating objects such as butter and...

With Earth Day quickly approaching, as well as many science fairs, why not challenge your class to investigate geothermal energy or other renewable energy resources? There are five driving questions explored in depth here, as well as...

Students explore weather patterns by conducting an experiment in class. In this heatwaves lesson plan, students identify how weather raises to an unhealthy degree and the effect it can have on people and their environment. Students...

Students analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Students...

In this thermochemistry learning exercise, learners solve a variety of problems including finding heats or reactions, determining specific heats of substances, finding the amount of energy released in a calorimeter determining the final...

Second graders experiment with a thermometer and water samples of varying temperatures. They examine the effect different colors and different fabrics have on retaining heat. They examine snow samples for water and dirt content. They...

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

For this science experiment worksheet, students gather materials and perform an investigation using thermometers and prisms. Students are asked if red is hotter than blue. They answer 6 questions.

Fifth graders explore conductors and heat loss in different materials. In this Physical Science lesson plan, 5th graders will be measuring the temperature drop of water in four containers. The class will then discuss what an...

Learners design an investigation to test whether vegetation in an area helps regulate the ambient air temperature. They make comparisons between the investigation and global changes in climate. In groups, they present their findings to...

In this chemistry activity, students investigate through experimentation the solidifying behavior of some edible fat mixtures by determining their cooling curves. Then they data-log equipment to obtain a large number of temperature...

Students determine the meanings of concentration, surface area, and catalysis through an experiment. In this lesson about chemical reactions, students participate in an experiment. Students complete three different parts of the...

Students study about electrochemistry by increasing their understanding of electron transfer and its role in chemical changes. They explain that energy appears in different forms. Heat energy is in the disorderly motion of molecules.

Students explore human anatomy by researching first aid care. In this heat related injury activity, students discuss the problems extreme temperatures can cause on the human body if left untreated. Students define the different injuries,...

In this English worksheet, learners read " Indian Heat Wave Kills 200," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

High schoolers explore the concept of hardness. In this physical science lesson plan, students will be using clay heated at different temperatures to study hardness based on the indention left. High schoolers will also be identifying the...

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a story about two teachers who argue about global warming. Students answer 5 essay questions.

In this grammar learning exercise, students select the correct connector from the list of 10 options and fill in the blanks of the sentences. There are 11 sentences to complete on this learning exercise.

For this conjunctions worksheet, students fill in the blanks of a passage using the correct conjunctions. Students read the passage on dress codes in Japan and choose the correct conjunction to complete the sentences.
