2. Where does heat come from?
Touch each image and discuss.
Motion can produce heat. The amount of heat produced depends
on the amount of motion.

3. How can motion create heat?
Touch each image to view the different energy levels of the
molecule.
Water is made of molecules. Molecules are always in motion. The
energy level of the molecules determines the state of matter.

4. What is heat?
Touch each image to see how the water molecules react.
Heat is a form of energy caused by the internal motion of molecules.
The hotter a substance is, the faster the molecules are moving.

5. What is heat transfer?
Drag the hand over the ice or pan, observe the heat transfer
for each.
Heat transfer is when heat energy moves from a warmer
object to a cooler object.

6. What are the three type of heat transfer?
Conduction heat transferred by the direct contact of molecules.
Convection heat transferred through a liquid or gas by means
of up-and-down.
Radiation heat transferred through empty space by invisible
infrared rays.

7. Conduction
Touch the image.
Conduction is the transfer of energy through matter by
direct contact of particles.

8. Do some substances conduct heat more rapidly than
others?
Write your answers and touch the clouds to reveal some
examples.
Can you think of objects that are used to conduct heat or energy?
Copper wire conducts Metal pots and pans
energy. conduct heat to cook food.

9. Do some substances conduct heat and energy poorly?
Write your answers and touch the clouds to reveal
some examples.
Can you think of objects that are used to stop the conduction of heat or energy?
A winter coat stops energy from A hot pad stops conduction
Insulators are substances that do not conduct heat and
being conducted out of a body. energy well.
from a hot pan to the hand.
Cloth, wood, glass, plastic, and rubber conduct energy and heat
very slowly when in contact with vigorously moving
particles of a hot object.

10. Conduction Lab
Drag the objects to connect the battery to the light bulb. Find out
which items conduct energy.

11. Convection
Click on the red molecule to view the 4 stages of
convection.
Convection is heat that is transferred in liquids or gases by means of up and
down movements of matter.
Cycles are created called convection currents.

12. Draw the direction of the heat flow in the air above the land and the
ocean.
During daytime, the temperature of the land is higher than
the temperature of the ocean.

13. Draw the direction of heat flow in the air above the land and the
ocean.
At night, the temperature of the land is
lower than the temperature of the ocean.

14. Radiation
Touch each image to see examples of heat radiation.
Radiation is the heat energy that is transferred through empty space
by invisible infrared radiation.
