Use the link above. On the right side, under the “green”
box labeled “simulations” click on the
Kinetic energy and temperature link.
Read the text, operate the animations and answer the questions that
follow.
Which two factors affect the
average kinetic energy of the particles of any type of matter?
What happens to the speed of the
particles if the temperature is increased?
What happens to the speed of the
particles if the size of the particle is increased?
What do you have to do to give
the particles of the matter the most kinetic energy?
Next, go to this link to find the
definition for conduction: http://dictionary.kids.net.au/word/conduction
What is CONDUCTION?
Now, go to this link for the
definition of convection: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/convection
What is CONVECTION?
Finally, go to this link to
define radiation: http://answers.askkids.com/How_Stuff_Works/what_is_the_definition_of_radiation
What is RADIATION?
Go back to the main site from
above: http://www.classzone.com/books/ml_science_physical/page_build.cfm?id=resour_ch4&u=1
Now click on the “Conduction,
Convection, or Radiation” link under the same the “green” box labeled
“simulations”
Once you’ve finished dragging the
pictures to the correct boxes, fill out the following table.

Now click on the link marked “Solar
Cells”, under the “green” box heading Simulations.
Play the movie.
Which heat transfer method is
used to capture the sun’s energy?
Take a look at these “bite –
sized” conduction, convection and
radiation animations
In what three ways can heat be
transferred?
True or False: Heat is always transferred from a warm
object to a cooler one.
Give your own example of the
following:
Conduction ---
Convection ---
Radiation ---

Type in your body temperature in
Fahrenheit degrees. What is your
body temperature in Celsius?
Type in the current room
temperature. What is this
temperature in Celsius?
