Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Heat as Energy Transfer. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Convection is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through differences in the density of warm and cool currents.
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of matter.
Radiation is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
Heat flow increases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the cooler substance.
Heat can cause a change of state in a substance.
Heat flow between substances stops when both substances reach the same temperature.
Conduction is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through direct collisions between particles in substances.
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from a substance with a higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature.
Thermal energy, also known as internal energy, is the energy associated with the random movement of particles in a substance.
Heat flow decreases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the warmer substance.
Heat is commonly referred to as thermal energy, but in science, these are different terms.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
Why do we use a thermometer? What happens when water is heated? What happens when you take heat away from water?
After the Game
What did you learn that temperature actually is? What is thermal energy? How do the particles in water show heat when heating it and cooling it?
