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...

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....

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.

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.] Investigates what conduction is, how it works, and gives examples of conduction.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes the conduction of thermal energy, how convection transfers thermal energy, and provides an example of the radiation of thermal energy.

Given scenarios or diagrams, students will describe the nature of metallic bonding and explain properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility of metals.

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...

Information about what solids are and properties associated with solid matter.

In this interactive unit on thermodynamics, you'll learn why heat flows the way it does and how that flow of thermal energy can be put to good use in your daily life.

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

[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...

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

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

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transfer of electric charge: transfer of electrons, conservation of charge and three ways electric charge can be transferred.

Through 10 lessons and more than 20 hands-on activities, students are introduced to the concept of an environment and the many interactions within it. As they learn about natural and human-made environments, as well as renewable and...

Through nine lessons, students are introduced to a range of energy types--electrical, light, sound and thermal-as well as the renewable energy sources of wind, hydro (water) and solar power. Subjects range from understanding that the...
