Prediction

Learning intention: We are learning how heat energy moves from warmer objects to cooler objects by conduction, convection and radiation.

Word bank: heat · energy · hotter · cooler · move · particles · conduction · convection · radiation

1. I predict heat will move from ____________________ to ____________________ because ________________________________.

2. I think the best example of heat transfer will be ________________________________________________.

Observations

Record what you noticed at each station. Use evidence to show that heat was moving.

Investigation

Conduction
Heat transfer through touching.

Convection
Heat transfer by moving air or water.

Radiation
Heat transfer across space.

What I noticed

Evidence of heat moving

Draw and label what you observed. Use arrows to show the direction of heat movement.

Draw and label conduction

Draw and label convection

Draw and label radiation

3. My evidence shows that heat energy ______.

Safety: Follow your teacher’s instructions and do not touch hot equipment.
