Description
Teach conduction, convection, and radiation with this complete middle school heat transfer unit! Includes four labs, two STEM engineering challenges, a solar oven project, an informational text, and response pages aligned to NGSS. Students will love this conduction, convection, and radiation worksheet.
This unit is designed for middle school science students.
The following NGSS Disciplinary Core Ideas are addressed: Matter and Its Interactions and Energy.
This unit is aligned with NGSS standards for MS Physical Science and is also aligned with Utah SEEd standards strand 6.2
NGSS Standards Addressed: .
MS-PS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer
Utah SEEd standards addressed in this unit:
6.2.2 Develop a model to predict the effect of heat energy on states of matter and density. Emphasize the arrangement of particles in states of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) and during phase changes (melting, freezing, condensing, and evaporating).
6.2.4 Design an object, tool, or process that minimizes or maximizes heat energy transfer. Identify criteria and constraints, develop a prototype for iterative testing, analyze data from testing, and propose modifications for optimizing the design solution. Emphasize demonstrating how the structure of differing materials allows them to function as either conductors or insulators.
Science Concepts Addressed:
Conductors and Insulators
Thermal Energy
Convection
Conduction
Radiation
Design Thinking
Engineering
Heat transfer
Materials that Conduct or Insulate
Convection Currents
Thermal Equilibrium
This resource includes a reading passage and comprehension questions on heat transfer.
Science and Engineering Practices Students Will Use:
1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering)
2. Developing and using models
3. Planning and carrying out investigations
4. Analyzing and interpreting data
5. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering)
6. Engaging in argument from evidence
7. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Crosscutting Concepts:
Patterns
Cause and Effect
Scale, Proportion and Quantity
Energy and Matter
Structure and Function
Systems
Stability and Change
