Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Flow of Thermal Energy. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Energy transfers out of hotter regions or objects to colder ones.

Temperature can be measured with a thermometer.

Radiation is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves.

Conduction is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through direct collisions between particles in substances.

Heat flow decreases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the warmer substance.

Heat flow increases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the cooler substance.

Thermal insulators are materials that resist the flow of thermal energy.

Thermal conductors are materials that do not impede the flow of thermal energy.

Convection is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through differences in the density of warm and cool currents.

Heat flow between substances stops when both substances reach the same temperature.

The greater the difference in temperature between two substances, the faster the rate of heat transfer.

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from a substance with a higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What unit do we use to measure temperature? What tool do we use to measure temperature? What is another word for thermal energy?

After the Game

In which direction does energy flow between a hot region and a colder region? How is conduction different from convection? How did you use conduction during the game? How is temperature related to the movement of particles? When a hot and cold body collide, what happens to each of their temperatures?
