[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transfer of electric charge: transfer of electrons, conservation of charge and three ways electric charge can be transferred.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the relationship between heat and energy transfer, and learn about the three ways that heat can be transferred between objects of different...

Students explore the relationship between heat and energy transfer, and then describe how energy is transported through the processes of conduction, convection, and radiation. [Free Registration/Login may be required to access all...

With the help of simple, teacher-led demonstration activities, students learn the basic concepts of heat transfer by means of conduction, convection, and radiation. Students then apply these concepts as they work in teams to solve two...

This lesson will describe how heat can be transferred by radiation. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Transfer of Heat - Radiation."

This lesson will describe how heat can be transferred by radiation. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Transfer of Heat - Radiation."

Explains different kinds of energy, covering kinetic, potential, gravitational, mechanical, sound, thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiant energy. Also looks at storage, transfer, and dissipation of energy. Includes a short...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How thermal energy is transferred by thermal radiation and sources of thermal radiation.

Given illustrations, scenarios, descriptions, and/or diagrams, students will demonstrate understanding of heat transfer.

Energy can be described as being in different "stores". It cannot be created or destroyed but it can be transferred, dissipated or stored in different ways. There are seven main stores of energy: magnetic, internal (thermal), chemical,...

Through nine lessons, students are introduced to a range of energy types--electrical, light, sound and thermal-as well as the renewable energy sources of wind, hydro (water) and solar power. Subjects range from understanding that the...

A tutorial that explores the concepts of heat and temperature, the transfer of energy between substances, the relationship of temperature and the movement of atom, and thermal radiation. The tutorial includes animations, interactive...

Activity 1 of this module investigates: How does potential energy change when things are pushed or pulled? Exploring how force is related to potential energy, this activity investigates how potential energy is changed when a spring is...

John and Jessi are going underwater, and they need to stay warm. Help them learn about conductors of heat so they can stay warm.

Students discover the role that the oceans play in climate change, and how climate change affects the oceans. It is lesson eight in a nine-lesson module "Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Using diagrams and practice problems, students learn how the units of calories are used to measure the energy of the heat transfer. They also discover how...
