This document appears to be a science lesson plan on the topic of temperature and conduction. Some key points covered include:
- Definitions of conduction, temperature, and different temperature scales such as Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin.
- An activity is described where students measure the temperature change over time of water in styrofoam and wax paper cups, demonstrating conduction.
- Conversions between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures are practiced.
- Additional topics covered are molecular motion and temperature, different types of thermometers, and an optional "Red Light, Green Light" activity related to temperature.
4. -Please make notes legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn. Please label

32. • Activity! Conduction
– Place a styrofoam cup and wax paper cup
into two similar containers.
– Place weights into each cup so the container
cannot float.
– Place thermometers in each cup at the same
place.
– Teacher to pour 100 ml of boiling water into
graduated cylinders and then into container
(not into cup with weights).
• Caution! Water will be very hot.
– Record temperature of each on spreadsheet.
33.
34. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?
35. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
36. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
– The styrofoam cup was the better insulator of
heat because it was ____ degrees cooler than
the wax paper cup.
37. • Questions.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
38. • Questions.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
– The water on the outside of the wax paper cup
was cooler because the thermal energy was
transferred into the cup through conduction.
40. • Questions.
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?
– This activity demonstrates conduction because
thermal energy moved through the molecules in
the cup. This evidence in the recorded
temperature changes.
47. “Try it again
you hot head”
“Convert 55
degrees
Fahrenheit into
degrees
Celsius.”
48. “Try it again
you hot head”
“Convert 55
degrees
Fahrenheit into
degrees
Celsius.”
Begin by
subtracting 32
from the
Fahrenheit
number (55).
49. “Try it again
you hot head”
“Convert 55
degrees
Fahrenheit into
degrees
Celsius.”
Begin by
subtracting 32
from the
Fahrenheit
number (55).
Divide the
answer by 9.
50. “Try it again
you hot head”
“Convert 55
degrees
Fahrenheit into
degrees
Celsius.”
Begin by
subtracting 32
from the
Fahrenheit
number (55).
Divide the
answer by 9.
Then multiply
that answer by
5.
87. • Activity (Optional) Red Light Green Light
Zero K Warm Again
• Students line up in a safe place.
• Teacher creates finish line
• When teachers spins and says Zero K you must
freeze / stop.
• When teacher says Warm Again and spins you
may try and advance to the finish.
89. • Activity! Please create the following in your
journal and then set it up at your lab area.
– Record the temp of the warm and then the cold.
Temp____ C Temp____ C Temp____ C
90. • Activity! Please create the following in your
journal and then set it up at your lab area.
– Record the temp of the warm and then the cold.
– Make a prediction, mix, and then find Med. temp.
Temp____ C Temp____ C Temp____ C
