Has your class ever wondered how animals and scientists stay warm in the Polar Regions? Kids will investigate to understand the three types of heat transfer and how heat transfer affects those trying to stay toasty in sub-zero temperatures. They engage in two different hands-on experiments that show the process of conduction, convection, and radiation. The lesson culminates in a design activity that requires learners to create a suit for staying warm.
