Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about . Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Motion energy is properly called kinetic energy; it is proportional to the mass of the moving object and grows with the square of its speed.
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 is the transfer of thermal energy from a substance with a higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature.
Conduction is a form of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transferred through direct collisions between particles in substances.
Heat flow between substances stops when both substances reach the same temperature.
Heat can cause a change of state in a substance.
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.
Heat flow increases the temperature/kinetic energy of particles in the cooler substance.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is heat? How do we usually measure how hot or cold something is? What units can we use to express temperature?
After the Game
In which direction does heat move between two substances? What is temperature actually measuring? How can heat affect the state of matter of a substance? What are three real world examples of heat transfer? What happens once thermal equilibrium is reached? What is the difference between conduction and convection? How is radiation different from conduction and convection?
