Elementary grade students investigate heat transfer in this activity to design and build a solar oven, then test its effectiveness using a temperature sensor. It blends the hands-on activity with digital graphing tools that allow kids to easily plot and share their data. Included in the package are illustrated procedures and extension activities. Note Requirements: This lesson requires a "VernierGo" temperature sensing device, available for ~ $40. This item is part of the Concord Consortium, a nonprofit research and development organization dedicated to transforming education through technology.

Students will be given a chance to place their hands on two different objects and then predict on which an ice cube will melt more quickly. Students will make a prediction as to what will happen when balloons filled with air and with water are held over a candle flame. Determine the Type of heat transfer happening in a variety of demonstrations and identify instances of each type of heat transfer in their lives.

I created this google document to use as a weekly homework assignment for my students. It covers thermal energy concepts such as convection, conduction, radiation, phase changes, and temperature conversions. It could be assigned in google classroom or printed out and given as a hard copy. It could also be adapted to be used as classwork, a quiz, enrichment, reinforcement, extra credit or a warm-up.
