Heat things up in your physical science class with this interactive lesson series on thermodynamics. Through a series of class demonstrations and experiments, young scientists learn how heat is transferred through conduction,...

It's sure getting hot out there! Scholars analyze satellite data on land use and surface temperatures, and then learn how to ground truth satellite data through an activity. They apply technology to identify urban heat islands and...

Some reactions absorb heat while others release it. Young scholars investigate both types of reactions in a 12-lesson unit. Each lesson presents a lab investigation that monitors temperature and considers the types of reactions taking...

Water, one of the basic needs of humans, is found in all three states of matter on Earth; no other planet—that we know of—possesses this quality. Here is a unit that allows learners to explore through experimentation what it...

Students explore meteorology, discuss Earth's atmosphere, create drawings of the water cycle, create meteorology journals, and role play forecasters. Nine lessons on one page; includes unit test.

With this learning module, students will understand the difference between heat and temperature, convert temperatures among different temperature scales, and calculate specific heat.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of heat and how thermal energy is transferred.

Students learn the difference between heat and temperature, how temperature is measured, and about the Celsius scale.

A video and a short quiz on heat, covering its difference from temperature, thermal energy, and the means by which heat is transferred.
