This week we’ll pour our energy into exploring the question How is thermal energy transfered? We’ll turn up the heat on two different types of cups to find the best way to keep a drink warm (or cold).
Objectives:
1. Investigate the transfer of thermal energy through different materials.
2. Define thermal energy and explain conduction, convection, and radiation.
3. Describe how insulation works.
Assignments:
Worksheet – Lesson 3: How is Thermal Energy Transfered?
Investigate: Losing Heat Data Sheet
